The Immigrant Crisis of Zidium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by 10 Year Old Yahya with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.133 billion Zidumites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zidumica DZ. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zidiumian economy, worth 74.0 trillion Zidirhams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 65,269 Zidirhams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, one complaint of Zidium's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, and Islam has been named as Zidium's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zidium's national animal is the Hudhud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Zidium is ranked 133,167^th in the world and 5,302^nd in The East Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 57.14 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
