The Queen's State of Zzyzz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.545 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, with Spirituality also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Zzyzzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,422 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 6,734th in the world and 1st in 3eA for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,400.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
