The Empire of Zetox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Great Gazoo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, fear of technology, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.948 billion Zetoxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gazoo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetoxian economy, worth a remarkable 6,861 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 491,931 Rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,392,807 per year while the poor average 25,290, a ratio of 134 to 1.

Charity no longer begins at home, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Zetox's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Zetox.

Zetox is ranked 1,771^st in the world and 2^nd in Union of Allied States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 149.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
