The Confederacy of Zman48 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 206 million Zman48ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.9%.

The strong Zman48ian economy, worth 14.3 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 69,326 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,094 per year while the poor average 15,789, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zman48's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zman48 is ranked 216,558th in the world and 650th in the Outback for Smartest Citizens, with 24.35 quips per hour.
