The Solar Realm of Zergeria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Apollo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.274 billion Zergerese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zrg city. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zergerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,342 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 435,271 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bug burgers are extra crunchy, those awarding peace prizes to Zergerese find themselves in pieces, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and sociologists ponder how baby-napped ethnic minority 'runaways' could have gone so bad so soon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zergeria's national animal is the noble savage, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Zergeria is ranked 4,977^th in the world and 4^th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,799.3 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
