The Rogue Nation of Zombie 26 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Hannibal with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.412 billion Zombie 26ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carthage. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 26ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,405 trillion rubles 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 255,558 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, serial killers are the country's biggest import, and rumor has it that Hannibal has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 26's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 26 is ranked 289,557^th in the world and 691^st in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
