The Fixing of Sitting Zone is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Wrench with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.088 billion Sitting Zoneans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Education and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Desk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sitting Zonean economy, worth 554 trillion quotes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 179,705 quotes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 537,508 per year while the poor average 46,987, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, insurers refuse to offer service to anyone within a mile of the coast, and corruption is a game of two halves. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sitting Zone's national animal is the wrench, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Overcharging.

Sitting Zone is ranked 310,026^th in the world and 72^nd in Panama Papers for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -19.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
