The Psychotic Depravity of Zombie 8 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jessies Girl with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.095 billion Zombie 8ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastrop. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 8ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,696 trillion kronor 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, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, 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 291,815 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Zombie 8, atheists on vacation find Critical Thinking's scriptures make useful doorstops, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 8's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Critical Thinking.

Zombie 8 is ranked 285,288th in the world and 817th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 9.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
