The Zero State of Outlawed is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Brother Number Zero with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.469 billion Zeroes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Zero. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeroian economy, worth a remarkable 7,983 trillion Zero Units 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 313,452 Zero Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, the government records billions of hours of footage of trees, ten thousand Zeroian soldiers recently invaded a nation occupied by two senior citizens and a dachshund, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Zeroian Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Outlawed's national animal is the Black Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zero Thought.

Outlawed is ranked 287,183^rd in the world and 57^th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
