The frighteningly efficient Zactavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zactavia's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Universal Rationalism.
