The Chaotic Nightmare Nation of Zandos is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Eggward The Third with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 899 million Zandosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zandian. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zandosi economy, worth 120 trillion Zandollas 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 impressive 133,961 Zandollas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

All recreational drugs are legal, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, nobody is quite sure what the government's last policy decision was but fans are saying it'll make Zandos great again, and nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zandos's national animal is the D U C C, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zandos is ranked 279,336^th in the world and 6,135^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 5.5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
