The Union of Federated States of Zootron is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Simon Cooper with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.213 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, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, 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 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zootronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,483 trillion labour credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 205,732 labour credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. 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 4,023^rd in the world and 86^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 60.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
