The Independent Space Colony of Side 3 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Gihren Zabi with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.14 billion Zeons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zum City. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Zeonic economy, worth a remarkable 6,900 trillion Zeon credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 568,395 Zeon credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Side 3, 90% of active duty S3AF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Side 3's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Side 3 is ranked 51,120th in the world and 18th in The Local Cluster for Most Stationary, with 879.8089508108 days.
