The Republic of Zamzamstan is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5 million Zamzamstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The strong Zamzamstanian economy, worth 259 billion Zirikonuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,845 Zirikonuses, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Zamzamstan's national animal is the Sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zamzamstan is ranked 230,961^st in the world and 1^st in Voltotoroshpool for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 212.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
