The Queen's State of Zzyzz is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.484 billion Zzyzzians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Zzyzzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 46,560 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,554 per year while the poor average 2,501, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, military funding has been stripped back, voting is voluntary, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zzyzz's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zzyzz is ranked 6,049th in the world and 1st in 3eA for Largest Populations, with 30.5 billion capita.
