The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.205 billion Zimmerdens enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 4,671 trillion Rauns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 307,207 Rauns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,089,339 per year while the poor average 62,494, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Private law firms are unheard of, a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, and meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zimmerdachen's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zimmerdachen is ranked 293,872^nd in the world and 11,311^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
