The Rogue Nation of Zombie 29 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Bill Cody with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.859 billion Zombie 29ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buffalo. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 29ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,876 trillion deniers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 279,697 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 29's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 29 is ranked 217,359th in the world and 566th in NationStates for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 801.88 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
