The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.202 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government 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 5,334 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 476,181 Braxes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,459,844 per year while the poor average 4,287, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 87,613^th in the world and 2,246^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,887.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
