The Republic of Zamkanda is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26 million Zamkandans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The thriving Zamkandan economy, worth 1.97 trillion Dogecoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 75,956 Dogecoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,489 per year while the poor average 7,709, a ratio of 51.8 to 1.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, the might of the entire Zamkandan Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zamkanda's national animal is the Pepe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zamkanda is ranked 297,119^th in the world and 633^rd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
