The Taupe Psychosis of Zombie 17 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Arnez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.942 billion Zombie 17ians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Splatterville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Zombie 17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,606 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 231,448 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
Anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, hazmat suits are a common Zombie 17ian garb, and epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 17's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Honky Tonk.
Zombie 17 is ranked 250,103rd in the world and 708th in NationStates for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -13.5 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
