The Unkown of ZIU-7236591 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.123 billion ZIU-7236591ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming ZIU-7236591ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,107 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,574 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, kindhearted ZIU-7236591ians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZIU-7236591's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ZIU-7236591 is ranked 329,286th in the world and 1st in A Stacked Deck for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
