The Free Land of Zombie earth is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12 million Zombie earthians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Zombie earthian economy, worth 266 billion NONS 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. 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 22,242 NONS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, genetic researchers have been expelled, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie earth's national animal is the Necrio Verros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zombie earth is ranked 240,373^rd in the world and 20^th in Zombie Research Institute for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
