The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.491 billion Zimmerdens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,883 trillion Rauns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 251,403 Rauns, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up', the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zimmerdachen's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zimmerdachen is ranked 16,798^th in the world and 921^st in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 80,604.62 Standard Monetary Units.
