The Community of Zadith is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bokonon with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.07 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 619 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 152,114 Favors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and parking's carefree without parking car fees. Crime is totally unknown. Zadith's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zadith is ranked 2,848^th in the world and 151^st in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 62.61 average smiles per day.
