The Depraved Desolation of Zombie 16 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Behr Crusher with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.918 billion Zombie 16ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,654 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 334,735 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and voting is voluntary. 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 142,274^th in the world and 442^nd in NationStates for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 991.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
