The Rogue Nation of Zombie 47 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Hammer Time with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.653 billion Zombie 47ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Broderick. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 47ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,099 trillion dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, 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 242,642 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 47's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 47 is ranked 57,169th in the world and 377th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 8.65 billion capita.
