The United Green Children of Zetsudom is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Zetsu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.558 billion Zetsudomians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zetsuville. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The powerhouse Zetsudomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion plants a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 impressive 136,437 plants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Zetsudomian Liberator", the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the only legal elections are for student body president, and conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zetsudom's national animal is the vuvuzela, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zetsudom is ranked 187,040th in the world and 64th in Florida for Most Stationary, with 67.39594297768 days.
