The Republic of Zena is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its national health service, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.701 billion Zenéixi 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zena. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zenéize economy, worth a remarkable 1,348 trillion Zenovìns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 155,003 Zenovìns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zena's national animal is the Grifón, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zena is ranked 199,013^th in the world and 1,632^nd in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 50.59 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
