The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.271 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, 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 a remarkable 8,599 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 an amazing 497,902 Braxes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,542,113 per year while the poor average 123,856, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

King CEO President Johan Liebert has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, and the government's only official statement on the burning down of Central City was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless'. 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 99,974th in the world and 1,710th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 438.4126708046 days.
