The Dictatorship of Ziplocia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Yung cash register AKA lil broomstick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.896 billion Ziplocians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ziplocian economy, worth 745 trillion Zips 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 152,356 Zips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

No bunny expects the Ziplocian rabbit coalition, it is written that heretics die and Yung cash register AKA lil broomstick laughs, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, and ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ziplocia's national animal is the Loc, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lil broomstick fan club.

Ziplocia is ranked 211,461st in the world and 7,872nd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 27,271.75 Standard Monetary Units.
