The 1984 Manufacturing Zone of EcoZone 35 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Geoff Beansauce with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.301 billion Interns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The directors office. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Company property economy, worth 243 trillion Company credit scores 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 187,051 Company credit scores, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. EcoZone 35's national animal is the Robot arm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Profit.

EcoZone 35 is ranked 27,060^th in the world and 145^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 82.0 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
