The Republic of Zenjen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Zakiya Umar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 3.584 billion Zenjenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Seaghton. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zenjenian economy, worth 372 trillion Eskorencs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,023 Eskorencs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zenjen's national animal is the Welsh Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Zenjen is ranked 19,052^nd in the world and 27^th in Lands End for Highest Food Quality, scoring 120.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
