The Haitian Reanimated Corpse of Zombie 20 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Midway OHare with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.893 billion Zombie 20ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garner Junior. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 20ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,905 trillion florins 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 a large, well-organized 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 266,694 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zombie 20's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Brain Salad Surgery.

Zombie 20 is ranked 811th in the world and 13th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 520.5 kickbacks per hour.
