The Republic of ZX003 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.382 billion zoothians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoox3. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient ZX003ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,462 trillion XXXES a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 128,515 XXXES, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 466,419 per year while the poor average 25,219, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Zoothians are wondering where have all the flowers gone, the 'Half King of Maxtopia' exhibit is the least popular amongst museum-goers, Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZX003's national animal is the devibodeez, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ZX003 is ranked 77,636^th in the world and 4,208^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
