The Armed Forces of Zulankan Outpost 142 is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 18.211 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 50.5%, and even 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 black market in Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. 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 16,809 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 142's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zulankan Outpost 142 is ranked 45,996^th in the world and 1^st in Sudetenland for Most Secular, with 25.11 Atheism Rate.
