The Armed Forces of Zulankan Outpost 4 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 18.879 billion Zulankans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zulankan economy, worth 188 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, broadly diversified black market in Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 9,986 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 4's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zulankan Outpost 4 is ranked 78,451^st in the world and 1^st in White Genocide Memorial for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
