The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.223 billion Zimmerdens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. The average income tax rate is 6.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 2,267 trillion Rauns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 275,725 Rauns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, the nation leads The North Pacific in per capita stalking, diplomatic cables about Glorious Sun Leader have suddenly been very flattering, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zimmerdachen's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zimmerdachen is ranked 235,800^th in the world and 9,662^nd in The North Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 3.15 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
