The Rogue Nation of Zombie 57 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Van der Bellex with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.538 billion Zombie 57ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viennax. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 57ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,597 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 244,379 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, school uniforms are compulsory, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 57's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 57 is ranked 82,198^th in the world and 447^th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 6.54 billion capita.
