The Galactic Empire of Nova Montron is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Zet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.359 billion Zetanoose enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ormon. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetanoose economy, worth a remarkable 3,112 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 216,792 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Nova Montron, treason is relative, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova Montron's national animal is the Zulum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Montron is ranked 281,204^th in the world and 5,214^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
