The Rogue Nation of Zombie 52 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Little Paws with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.541 billion Zombie 52ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiranex. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 52ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,573 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 240,608 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 52's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 52 is ranked 283,911th in the world and 577th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 18.95 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
