The Democratic States of Zunsettia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ardentis Regnator with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.872 billion Zunsettians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Star City. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Zunsettian economy, worth 154 trillion Xeniths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 82,478 Xeniths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reddish-brown is the new black, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and Zunsettian politics is literally a blood sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zunsettia's national animal is the Locust, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zunsettia is ranked 13,406^th in the world and 223^rd in the West Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 59.08 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
