The Cheddar Knight of Sir Zanny is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Said the Liar with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.054 billion Sir Zannyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fabio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sir Zannyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,910 trillion Daily Crates a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 315,633 Daily Crates, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Sir Zannyian RPG, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sir Zanny's national animal is the Evening Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Clanka's in Pyjamas.

Sir Zanny is ranked 62,843^rd in the world and 780^th in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 1.38 weapons per person.
