The Terror of Zombie 1 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Z1 with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.442 billion Zombie 1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apollo 11. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 1ian economy, worth a remarkable 8,142 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 379,746 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 1's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is z1.

Zombie 1 is ranked 5,887th in the world and 158th in NationStates for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 523.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
