The Republic of ZMC06 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 501 million ZMC06ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 38.7%.

The very strong ZMC06ian economy, worth 24.6 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 49,097 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is plagued with unethical researchers, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZMC06's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZMC06 is ranked 283,519^th in the world and 31^st in RegionZ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -33.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
