The Republic of Zeternia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Thomas W Dexter with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.435 billion Zeternians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeternia City. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeternian economy, worth a remarkable 4,286 trillion Zets a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,976 Zets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, Thomas W Dexter's reputation is hard as nails, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeternia's national animal is the Flying Ham, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zeternia is ranked 1,778^th in the world and 66^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 22,152.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
