The Psychotic Palate of Zombie 12 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Erin the Fair with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.977 billion Zombie 12ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zobo. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 12ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,766 trillion z12s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 252,061 z12s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 12's national animal is the z12, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Erinism.

Zombie 12 is ranked 285,689^th in the world and 829^th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 8.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
