The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.56 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, Law & Order, and Industry. 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 3,134 trillion Uraniums 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, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 414,655 Uraniums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,085,747 per year while the poor average 46,072, a ratio of 45.3 to 1.

The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, the might of the entire Zerentopian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, getting caught with the wrong recipe book can get you locked up for 100 - 500 megaseconds, and nudity is frowned upon. 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 Baphomet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Zerentopia is ranked 156,796^th in the world and 55^th in The Allied States for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 16.14 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
