The Corrupt Partisan Tribunal of Zeu is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Tribunal with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.987 billion Zeuans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeua economy, worth a remarkable 1,489 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 248,812 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,857,764 per year while the poor average 9,737, a ratio of 190 to 1.

Royalty is so last century, bombs make good ploughs, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, and cutting remarks are the limit of The Tribunal's violent tendencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeu's national animal is the Bull Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anti-Creationism.

Zeu is ranked 7,552^nd in the world and 28^th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 129 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
