The Organization of Zex Mafia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Zed II with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.594 billion Zex Mafians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zex Central. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zex Mafian economy, worth a remarkable 1,074 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 233,981 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 954,472 per year while the poor average 38,026, a ratio of 25.1 to 1.

Middle management darts to the playground after board meetings, Zed II shot first, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and elections demand a proportionate response. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zex Mafia's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Zex Mafia is ranked 967^th in the world and 1^st in RegionZ for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 10,712.93 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
