The Cheddar Knight of Sir Zanny is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Said the Liar with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.127 billion Sir Zannyians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fabio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sir Zannyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,933 trillion Daily Crates a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 315,633 Daily Crates, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, foreigners often find themselves on the wrong end of a Sir Zannyian RPG, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sir Zanny's national animal is the Evening Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Clanka's in Pyjamas.

Sir Zanny is ranked 198,939th in the world and 3,666th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
