The Free Land of Zondu is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 6.727 billion Zondiis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zondii economy, worth 623 trillion drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 92,656 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, astronauts take one small step for Zondu and one giant step backward from confrontation, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zondu's national animal is the black-footed cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zondu is ranked 156,563^rd in the world and 6,239^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 574.82 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
