The Zuper Zealous Zoologist of Zany Zanes is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Zenthos with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 18.171 billion Zany Zanesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pop. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zany Zanesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,974 trillion Z's a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,649 Z's, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zany Zanes's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zen.

Zany Zanes is ranked 167,440^th in the world and 32^nd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 588.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
