The Democratic Republic of Zigone is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 96 million Zigoneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zigonean economy, worth 3.82 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,817 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zigone's national animal is the kiwi.

Zigone is ranked 179,072nd in the world and 3,283rd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
