The Free Kingdom of Zannania is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by King Marcel with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.783 billion Zannanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ambergrove. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zannanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,660 trillion Sunbursts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,861 Sunbursts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zannania's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zannania is ranked 159,388^th in the world and 4^th in The Conservative Coalition for Most Extreme, scoring 17.69 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
