The Republic of Zenithi is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Zenithians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Zenithian economy, worth 1.31 trillion Aureons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,726 Aureons, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, voting is voluntary, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zenithi's national animal is the Hologram Fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zenithi is ranked 67,151^st in the world and 802^nd in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 75 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
