The ឵឵឵឵ of Island Zero is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Z3 with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.143 billion Islanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Furnace. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeron economy, worth an astonishing 12,859 trillion bits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 909,244 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, being dead no longer has any benefits, prime picnicking sites are being paved over in the name of progress, and hospitals are cleaned with lemons and vinegar. Crime is totally unknown. Island Zero's national animal is the tardigrade, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Island Zero is ranked 3,124^th in the world and 3^rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,778.92 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
