The Republic of ZMC22 is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory vegetarianism, and digital currency. The cynical, devout population of 445 million ZMC22ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong ZMC22ian economy, worth 26.0 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,523 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hoping to get pregnant is considered sinful presumption, mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, women who display their ankles are shunned by society, and pootling steam trains carry delighted tourists and frustrated businessmen from city to city at a snail's pace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZMC22's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZMC22 is ranked 111,863^rd in the world and 9^th in RegionZ for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,692.34 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
