The People's Republic of Zakanda is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Declan Webster with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.377 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asina. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Zakanda's national animal is the ocelot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the pound.

Zakanda is ranked 51st in the South Pacific and 2,522nd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
