The Queendom of Zancostan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Taro Stiltsington with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.1 billion Zancostanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stiltstopia. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zancostanian economy, worth 248 trillion Zancoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,130 Zancoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and dentists routinely perform open heart surgery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zancostan's national animal is the Red Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zancostan is ranked 13,332^nd in the world and 243^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 351.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
