The Republic of Zaktan is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, devout population of 5.63 billion Zaktanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense and Law & Order are also considered important, while Industry and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The very strong Zaktanian economy, worth 324 trillion Kanohis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,624 Kanohis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,689 per year while the poor average 12,518, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, surveillance cameras are banned, and warning signs caution Zaktanians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world'. Crime is moderate. Zaktan's national animal is the Rahi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zaktan is ranked 270,819^th in the world and 8,431^st in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
