The Armed Republic of ZFE 3 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 898 million ZFE 3ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant ZFE 3ian economy, worth 12.4 trillion shapaloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 13,781 shapaloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZFE 3's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZFE 3 is ranked 257,843^rd in the world and 4^th in CAA for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
