The Legalest Zombal of Marthizer is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.014 billion Zombalians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zombalton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Marthizerian economy, worth 639 trillion Brains a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 63,883 Brains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,245 per year while the poor average 6,886, a ratio of 47.4 to 1.

Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and increasing numbers of children in Marthizer have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Marthizer's national animal is the Zombal.

Marthizer is ranked 289,959th in the world and 153rd in Kantrias for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -7.07 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
