The Tech Corporation of ZemisNorth Technologies Ltd is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by ZemisNorth CEO Michael Lancaster with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.868 billion customers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ZemisNorth HQ. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient customer economy, worth 146 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,993 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

More and more people are signing up for the government party, appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, and tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ZemisNorth Technologies Ltd's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Frutiger Aero.

ZemisNorth Technologies Ltd is ranked 19,451^st in the world and 635^th in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 54.82 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
