The Grand Republic of Zenthica is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Komian Alekna with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, compulsory gun ownership, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.561 billion Zenthicans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zenthica City. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zenthican economy, worth a remarkable 1,444 trillion Zeniths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,688 Zeniths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dictators have dubbed Zenthica the land of lunatics, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Zenthican citizenship, the dance skills of Komian Alekna are said to be almost as subversive as their politics, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zenthica's national animal is the Sand Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secular.

Zenthica is ranked 8,287^th in the world and 120^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 458.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
