The United Federation of Zetronius is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Carter Alastoir with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, ritual sacrifices, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.426 billion Zetrons 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sictarum. The average income tax rate is 37.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetronic economy, worth 189 trillion Neo-Ternions a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 132,726 Neo-Ternions, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, books are so highly regarded in Zetronius that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zetronius's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paladinic Rhalithism.

Zetronius is ranked 285,252^nd in the world and 757^th in Carcassonne for Most Authoritarian, with 126.61 milliStalins.
