The Republic of Zena is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.158 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 large, 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 1,515 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 165,451 Zenovìns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 475,732 per year while the poor average 45,730, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Those on cloud nine have been relocated to cloud negative six, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, museums offer moralization or your money back, and Leader consults the market before choosing breakfast. 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 7,071^st in the world and 109^th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 92.85 on the Human Development Index.
