The Community of Zadith is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bokonon with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.158 billion Zadithians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Godzilla City. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zadithian economy, worth 638 trillion Favors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,493 Favors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, a government program is underway to revitalize Zadith's beaches, and kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class. Crime is totally unknown. Zadith's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zadith is ranked 289,289^th in the world and 6,275^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.34 kickbacks per hour.
