The Rogue Nation of Zombie 49 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Brain Surgeon with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.45 billion Zombie 49ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neurology. The average income tax rate is 53.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Zombie 49ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,138 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 253,066 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Zombie 49ian politicians, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, schoolchildren are divided over Brain Surgeon's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 49'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 Brains.
Zombie 49 is ranked 282,737th in the world and 735th in NationStates for Fattest Citizens, with 5.89 Obesity Rate.
