The United Island Republics of of The Zombay is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tyros Newman with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.339 billion Zombayans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Réma. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombayan economy, worth a remarkable 7,950 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 372,572 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums offer moralization or your money back, the nation is well known for its rather dull and family-friendly architecture, ill and injured visitors in The Zombay have to walk it off until they return home, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime is totally unknown. The Zombay's national animal is the Axolotl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Temple of the Sun.

The Zombay is ranked 43,382nd in the world and 2,979th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
