The Republic of Zendo 95 is a small, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 29 million Zendo 95ians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zendo 95ian economy, worth 1.56 trillion zens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,914 zens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gun ownership is compulsory, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zendo 95's national animal is the zen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zendo 95 is ranked 204,345^th in the world and 70^th in Yamagata for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
