The Neo-Slavic Commonwealth of Zeneslav is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kāsper Kārlevesk with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 13.866 billion Zenesks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cśevāljsk. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zenesk economy, worth a remarkable 1,217 trillion Mārels 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 87,792 Mārels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, and estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeneslav's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zenesk Orthodox Church.

Zeneslav is ranked 63,434th in the world and 21st in Saint Helene for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 150.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
