The Phoenix Consortium of Zerotaxia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jennifer Sky with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.001 billion Zerotaxians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedomsburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zerotaxian economy, worth 653 trillion Zerocoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 163,216 Zerocoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,169,077 per year while the poor average 7,416, a ratio of 157 to 1.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, the rainbow assortment of chemicals in the water has turned the frogs gay, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and air purifiers fight smoke machines on Zerotaxian stage setups. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zerotaxia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chaos.

Zerotaxia is ranked 76,966th in the world and 33rd in Anarchy for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,168.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
