The Alcoholic Vampirism of Zombie 21 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Manhattan Skinner with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.883 billion Zombie 21ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, 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 Carla Text Door. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 21ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,157 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,148 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 21's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Belligerence.

Zombie 21 is ranked 51,472nd in the world and 191st in NationStates for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,159.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
