The Matriarchy of Zesty Symphony is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.78 billion Zesty Symphonyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The strong Zesty Symphonyian economy, worth 168 trillion Orange Caramels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,586 Orange Caramels, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,998 per year while the poor average 3,837, a ratio of 65.9 to 1.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Citrus Fox Dung" has been declared a national treasure, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and ZS-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zesty Symphony's national animal is the Citrus Fox.

Zesty Symphony is ranked 221,863^rd in the world and 3^rd in Orange Caramel for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 772.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
