The Rogue Nation of Zombie 80 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Izmail Omarx Guellehz with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.505 billion Zombie 80ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Djiboutix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 80ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 trillion dollars 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, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 223,547 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, Zombie 80's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 80's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 80 is ranked 2,200^th in the world and 257^th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 334.16 kickbacks per hour.
