The Void Sovereign of Zaltalla is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zraktus Imperius with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.316 billion Zaltallans 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deon. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Zaltallan economy, worth 79.3 trillion Imperions 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 34,229 Imperions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, and Abyss Demon populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaltalla's national animal is the Abyss Demon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Voidonism.

Zaltalla is ranked 182,590th in the world and 89th in MJT for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,284.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
