The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.828 billion Zerentopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zerentopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,530 trillion Braxes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 460,936 Braxes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,316,890 per year while the poor average 4,152, a ratio of 1,039 to 1.

High-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, and most pop videos prominently feature the Zerentopian flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zerentopia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Zerentopia is ranked 211,175^th in the world and 5,632^nd in the Rejected Realms for Nudest, with 27.5 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
