The Hippy State of Zerophix is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 13.015 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

A new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the government funds large training centres to turn Pink Elephant s into functioning members of society, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zerophix's national animal is the Pink Elephant , which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shiny Beads .

Zerophix is ranked 133rd in Lazarus and 2,809th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 30 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
