The Oppressed Peoples of Zerocomm is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 166 million Zerocommians 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 Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The strong Zerocommian economy, worth 9.31 trillion Monkeys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 56,083 Monkeys, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Zerocomm's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Zerocommian, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zerocomm's national animal is the Monkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zerocomm is ranked 192,649^th in the world and 1^st in Cao Dai for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -3 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
