The Republic of Zebas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.914 billion Zebasi are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zebasi economy, worth 744 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 151,428 rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,186,252 per year while the poor average 4,871, a ratio of 243 to 1.

The fattest folk in Zebas look to be the happiest ones, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Zebas's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scientism.

Zebas is ranked 18,079^th in the world and 1,087^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 123.18 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
