The Scientocracy of Zerethia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Enas Oitos with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.92 billion Zerethians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atel. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zerethian economy, worth 572 trillion Tinoes a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 146,145 Tinoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zerethia's national animal is the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zerethia is ranked 6,518th in the world and 337th in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 93.15 on the Human Development Index.
