The Queendom of Zancostan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Taro Stiltsington with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.013 billion Zancostanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stiltstopia. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zancostanian economy, worth 232 trillion Zancoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,693 Zancoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematicians are hated by children across the country, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zancostan's national animal is the Red Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zancostan is ranked 126,920^th in the world and 199^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 901.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
