The Filipino guy of Zantalio is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Valshem with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The democratic, devout population of 773 million Zantalis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 81.9 trillion Talents a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,975 Talents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zantalio's national animal is the Dank bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zantalio is ranked 276,001^st in the world and 1,294^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
