The Rogue Nation of Zombie 41 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kata Tjuta with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.408 billion Zombie 41ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uluru. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Zombie 41ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,790 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,977 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 625,834 per year while the poor average 57,100, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.
Trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, business is banging at no-tell motels, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 41's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.
Zombie 41 is ranked 36,211th in the world and 303rd in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,247.9067360614 days.
