The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.672 billion Zerentopias 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zerentopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,443 trillion Braxes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 504,746 Braxes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,466,896 per year while the poor average 26,283, a ratio of 131 to 1.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Zerentopia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Zerentopia is ranked 94,388^th in the world and 1,756^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,522.87 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
