The Most Serene Republic of Zamolodchikova is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 260 million Zamolodchikovians 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 medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zamolodchikovian economy, worth 17.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,920 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zamolodchikova's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zamolodchikova is ranked 14,923^rd in the world and 694^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 26.59 average smiles per day.
