The State of Zoe is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 12.639 billion Zoeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The strong Zoean economy, worth 604 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 47,801 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign government's extravagances, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and Zoe has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoe's national animal is the deer.

Zoe is ranked 161,551^st in the world and 7^th in The Assembly of Gentlemen for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
