The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.049 billion Zimmerdens enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 4,603 trillion Rauns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 305,878 Rauns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,100,175 per year while the poor average 60,871, a ratio of 18.1 to 1.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, children often kick Frogs for amusement, and all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff'. 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 2,330th in the world and 85th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 246 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
