The Standing Zombie Republic of Zuque is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.857 billion Zuqueans 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queue. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zuquean economy, worth a remarkable 1,684 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 84,849 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, commemoration of the Great Loamhedge War costs almost as much as the war itself, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuque's national animal is the ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Standing Zuqueanity.

Zuque is ranked 267,386^th in the world and 6^th in Loamhedge for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,860.88 Standard Monetary Units.
