The Deranged Gourmet of Zombie 22 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pantera with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.974 billion Zombie 22ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chad lake. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,311 trillion guilders 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 301,746 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Pantera to cartoon bears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 22's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cold Cold Heart.

Zombie 22 is ranked 284,153^rd in the world and 759^th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
