The Armed Forces of Zulankan Outpost 137 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 18.072 billion Zulankans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zulankan economy, worth 306 trillion labor certificates 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 16,980 labor certificates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulankan Outpost 137's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zulankan Outpost 137 is ranked 28,602^nd in the world and 1^st in Reichswehr for Highest Drug Use, scoring 359.48 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
