The Parliamentary Monarchy of The united kingdoms of zackalantis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gobernante Jonnathan Rutherford with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 2.726 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Careprevell. The average income tax rate is 70%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Pizza Delivery.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, skateparks can be found in every city, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The united kingdoms of zackalantis's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Catholicism, and its currency is the zach.

The united kingdoms of zackalantis is ranked 5th in Heratania and 109,081st in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 10 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
