The Republic of Zlemane is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 168 million Zlemaneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zlemanean economy, worth 14.8 trillion Zlots a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,231 Zlots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reports of attacks by bright purple sixty-foot high spiders have recently shot up, in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Leader's desk, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zlemane's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zlemane is ranked 2,243^rd in the world and 4^th in Horizon for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 8,050.56 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
