The Empire of Zetox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Great Gazoo with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.316 billion Zetoxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gazoo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetoxian economy, worth a remarkable 7,248 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 473,264 Rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,404,449 per year while the poor average 21,190, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, citizens must pay to enjoy Zetox's pristine beaches, foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, and the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Zetox's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Zetox.

Zetox is ranked 316,494th in the world and 6,272nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 0.35 Atheism Rate.
