The Union of Federated States of Zootron is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Simon Cooper with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.995 billion Zootronians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zootron City. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zootronian economy, worth a remarkable 2,500 trillion labour credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,431 labour credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Federated States of Zootron. Crime is totally unknown. Federated States of Zootron's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Federated States of Zootron is ranked 182,320^th in the world and 5,502^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,432.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
