The Republic of Zombie Ariel is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Zombie Ariel with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.723 billion Zombies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantica. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Zombie economy, worth a remarkable 1,188 trillion Zombucks 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, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 80,735 Zombucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zombie Ariel's national animal is the Zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the cult of Zombie Ariel.

Zombie Ariel is ranked 53,680^th in the world and 62^nd in Conch Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,006.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
