The Protectorate of Zatonia is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.915 billion Zatonians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bangkok. The average income tax rate is 43.4%.

The very strong Zatonian economy, worth 493 trillion Zotans a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,347 Zotans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

A good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zatonia's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zatonia is ranked 63,433^rd in the world and 4^th in Dawnstar for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 8,524.13 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
