The Rogue Nation of Zombie 49 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Brain Surgeon with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.191 billion Zombie 49ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neurology. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 49ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,821 trillion rupees a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 276,890 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 49's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 49 is ranked 30,279^th in the world and 471^st in NationStates for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,446.91 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
