The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.534 billion Zerentopias 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 7,722 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 Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 497,117 Braxes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,655,936 per year while the poor average 4,476, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and all streets are privately owned toll roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. 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 308,116th in the world and 9,016th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -679.61 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
