The Casual Psychosis of Zombie 13 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Slurptongue with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.693 billion Zombie 13ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brainston. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zombie 13ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,197 trillion z13s 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 298,980 z13s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The studies of art and philosophy are banned, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, foreign musicians that Slurptongue dislikes are turned away at the border, and Slurptongue is worshipped as a god. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 13's national animal is the z13, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Money.
Zombie 13 is ranked 306,584th in the world and 826th in NationStates for Most Cultured, scoring -40 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
