The Federal Republic of Zalengam is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 777 million Zalengamis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aizawl. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zalengamese economy, worth 28.0 trillion Sumnas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,076 Sumnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the words guilty and evidence have left the Zalengamese lexicon, and schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zalengam's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zalengam is ranked 262,972^nd in the world and 725^th in Council of Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
