The State of Zumpano is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 31.603 billion Zumpanoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Zumpanoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,617 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,197 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 348,080 per year while the poor average 2,750, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, Zumpano has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Zumpano in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zumpano's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zumpano is ranked 301,544^th in the world and 596^th in State for Most Influential, scoring 7 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
