The Citizenship of Zepther is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Kilroy with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.793 billion Zeptherians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alivon. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zeptherian economy, worth an astonishing 11,366 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 408,954 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime is totally unknown. Zepther's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Logic.

Zepther is ranked 2,827^th in the world and 5^th in New Warsaw Pact for Lowest Crime Rates, with 132.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
