The Depraved Desolation of Zombie 16 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Behr Crusher with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.728 billion Zombie 16ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brainsburgville. The average income tax rate is 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,536 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 329,660 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 16's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Intellectual Empathy.

Zombie 16 is ranked 20,147th in the world and 232nd in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,614.24109882948 days.
