The Corrupt Partisan Tribunal of Zeu is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Tribunal with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.092 billion Zeuans 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 Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeua economy, worth a remarkable 1,567 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,242 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,667,592 per year while the poor average 15,869, a ratio of 105 to 1.

News headlines suggest that The Tribunal has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeu's national animal is the Bull Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anti-Creationism.

Zeu is ranked 7,372^nd in the world and 21^st in Starlight for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,980.37 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
