The Confederate Federal Dominion of Zaktoutr is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Thing That Should Not Be with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.393 billion Zaktoutrians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Abyss of Hades. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zaktoutrian economy, worth an astonishing 19,309 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 635,315 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,233,325 per year while the poor average 36,243, a ratio of 116 to 1.

Politicians look weirdly alike, many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, and the government insists that bizarre Lilliputian language game shows were made domestically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zaktoutr's national animal is the Devil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Abyss.

Zaktoutr is ranked 303^rd in the world and 1^st in Awful Circle for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 15,566.18 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
