The Republic of From Zero is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 292 million From Zeroans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The strong From Zeroan economy, worth 15.5 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Trout Farming. Average income is 53,122 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and divorce is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. From Zero's national animal is the falcon.

From Zero is ranked 184,173^rd in the world and 2^nd in Headfirst Hallucination for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,383.1 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
