The Federation of Zamostarmy is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.659 billion Zamostarmyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Hutin. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.

The strong Zamostarmyian economy, worth 100 trillion New Holy Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,383 New Holy Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Strange men lingering in offices distributing television sets is a basis for a system of government, chocolate in Zamostarmy has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Saint Hutin for fear of causing a fuss, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Zamostarmy's new capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zamostarmy's national animal is the Black Eagle.

Zamostarmy is ranked 274,019^th in the world and 422^nd in The League for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
