The Filipino guy of Zantalio is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by King Valshem with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The democratic, devout population of 785 million Zantalis 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 83.2 trillion Talents a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,975 Talents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zantalio's national animal is the Dank bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zantalio is ranked 173,103^rd in the world and 843^rd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 175.88 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
