The Colony of Zangom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Mbaden Egonu with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 8.59 billion Zangomians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dekamba. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zangomian economy, worth 699 trillion Manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 81,469 Manas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, and the nation's spies are always on break time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zangom's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zangom is ranked 70,271^st in the world and 10^th in Etruria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
