Statistics Zealandia (Axipaal: Statistikk Sjaelandi) is the government agency in Zealandia in charge of gathering statistical, demographic, cultural and economic data to help better understand Zealandia's population. Statistics Zealandia, often shortened to Stats Zealandia, is also responsible for operating and collecting the data gathered during the Zealandia Census, a nationwide survey sent out on the first and 5th year of each decade. Stats Zealandia developed alongside StatCan, the Canadian statistics bureau, and they are considered two of the best and most accurate statistical organizations in the world. 
Statistics is a federal responsibility in Zealandia, and the federal constitution mandates a census of the population be taken every 5 years. Individuals and families are required by law to comply with and complete the census form. In 2008, the Census form became available via an online form, and the online Census form has since become very popular due to its ease of completion and access.
