The Kingdom of Zantalio is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Valshem with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 2.012 billion Zantalis 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 257 trillion Talents a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 127,811 Talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An IT mega-corporation has a patent pending on the rectangle, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zantalio's national animal is the Dank bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zantalio is ranked 301,103^rd in the world and 1,269^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -306.98 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
