The Reformed Demonic Assembly of Zaktoutr is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by He Who Is Not to be Named with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.609 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, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zaktoutrian economy, worth an astonishing 20,429 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 646,315 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,298,060 per year while the poor average 37,085, a ratio of 115 to 1.

Reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts. 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 Tribble, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Abyss.

Zaktoutr is ranked 241,523^rd in the world and 1^st in Awful Circle for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -47.12 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
