The Empire of Zheng Ze is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Axon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.721 billion Zheng Zeans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axonia. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The all-consuming Zheng Zean economy, worth a remarkable 1,572 trillion pounds 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 274,924 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children often kick Crows for amusement, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Zheng Zean Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zheng Ze's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Axonism.

Zheng Ze is ranked 3,097^th in the world and 55^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 129.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
