The United Green Children of Zetsudom is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Zetsu with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.678 billion Zetsudomians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zetsuville. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zetsudomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion plants a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. 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 impressive 132,656 plants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zetsudom's national animal is the vuvuzela, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zetsudom is ranked 11,549th in the world and 2nd in Florida for Highest Poor Incomes, with 117,257.05 Standard Monetary Units.
