The Community of Zadith is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bokonon with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.094 billion Zadithians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Godzilla City. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zadithian economy, worth 622 trillion Favors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,083 Favors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Bokonon to meetings with foreign heads of state, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown. Zadith's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zadith is ranked 7,473^rd in the world and 328^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 138 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
