The Corrupt Partisan Tribunal of Zeu is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Tribunal with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.999 billion Zeuans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic 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 43.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeua economy, worth a remarkable 1,477 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 246,355 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,685,194 per year while the poor average 12,991, a ratio of 129 to 1.

The practice of capital punishment proves divisive, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, sweet-toothed Zeuans have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. 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 74,913^th in the world and 110^th in Starlight for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,191.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
