The Republic of ZMC01 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 495 million ZMC01ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 34.5%.

The strong ZMC01ian economy, worth 31.6 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 63,796 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZMC01's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

ZMC01 is ranked 73,366^th in the world and 3^rd in RegionZ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 131.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
