*"z" is the entire country, the other 51 alphabetic characters = the 51 states. (duh)

History:
Founded in 1823 by Captain Jeremiah Groaan off the west coast of Nebraska, Zelaware was originally part of Wyoming until the "Great Squaring" of 1822 left it a curious dead zone on most maps. Cartographers quickly took up the task of removing the unwanted extra space, this move was generally ignored by the population as they felt that their state was "somewhere in there anyway". This sentiment was solidified during the Civil War where it is said the people were out that day and didn't know what was going on until they got home and read about it.

Once known for it's vast fields of waving slag and dense forests of leeches it has since become a mecca for paving enthusiasts, Zelaware is the only state in the Union to have a 98% paved surface (the remaining 2% is reserved for astroturf). The state flag features the official state animal, the majestic Protozoa, centred upon a field a beige. The flag is unique in that the state animal is actually drawn to scale on the flag.

Tough economic times have meant the closure of more traditional industries such as call centres and video store management training colleges that once littered the landscape, that said, the entertainment industry has grown exponentially in recent years with a great deal of growth in both script writing and radio commercials where two people banter back and forth.

Zelaware is not without it's famous citizens, such as Hollis Oberunter inventor of the reverse corset and actor-comedian Lefty Wright (star of over 650 motion pictures) and of course America's "lost" president John Tlyer who was placed in office briefly due to a minor spelling error following the death of William Henry Harrison.

So, why not forget about the lack of information on the internet regarding "America's No. 2 Hellhole" and pay us a visit!
