The CURE of Zombie 0 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lampard with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.784 billion Zombie 0ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrona. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zombie 0ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,685 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 341,730 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, endangered species are effective hostages against the Zombie 0ian military, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 0's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Chelseaism.
Zombie 0 is ranked 290,138th in the world and 701st in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
