The CURE of Zombie 4 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by z4 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.518 billion Zombie 4ians 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 tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowfall. The average income tax rate is 3.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 6,302 trillion deniers 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 292,895 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Z4's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zombie 4's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is doovoo.

Zombie 4 is ranked 68,994th in the world and 309th in NationStates for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,498.84 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
