The Armed Forces of Zulankan Outpost 69 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 17.185 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, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zulankan economy, worth 166 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, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Tourism. 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 9,676 labor certificates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulankan Outpost 69's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zulankan Outpost 69 is ranked 268,147^th in the world and 1^st in Hanguk for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
