The Sovereign University of Zetaopalatopia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Edwin Elwood with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.427 billion Zetaopalatopians 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 enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administration. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetaopalatopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,788 trillion Merits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 213,516 Merits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, asylum seekers have voted Zetaopalatopia as best layover destination, and people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zetaopalatopia's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of The Hidden Moon.

Zetaopalatopia is ranked 9,513^th in the world and 316^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 213,516.08 Standard Monetary Units.
