The Imperial Stratocracy of Zhenos is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.148 billion Zhenosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhagos. The average income tax rate is 82.7%.

The powerhouse Zhenosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion Zhenosian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Retail. Average income is 78,221 Zhenosian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, more citizens have access to Maxtopian Grass than clean drinking water, a surprisingly large portion of the national budget is allocated to purchasing MMORPG "Elite Gold Loot Boxes", and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhenos's national animal is the Zhenosian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zhenos is ranked 22,560^th in the world and 1^st in Terran Federation for Safest, scoring 112.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
