The NewAgeUnitarianUniversalism of Zen Buddha is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Won Kennedy with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 37.876 billion Zen Buddhans 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.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zen City. The average income tax rate is 61.7%.

The Zen Buddhan economy, worth a remarkable 1,261 trillion zen koans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,317 zen koans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Won Kennedy is a silly poophead, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Zen Buddha's national animal is the beautiful butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tao and Zen.

Zen Buddha is ranked 139,898th in the world and 1st in Blackbats for Safest, scoring 66.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
