The Citizenship of Zepther is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Empress Kilroy with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.693 billion Zeptherians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alivon. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zeptherian economy, worth an astonishing 11,320 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 408,797 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, Empress Kilroy reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown. Zepther's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Logic.

Zepther is ranked 6,915th in the world and 9th in New Warsaw Pact for Most Stationary, with 2,819.41408446272 days.
