The Scientocracy of Zerethia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Enas Oitos with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.099 billion Zerethians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atel. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zerethian economy, worth 592 trillion Tinoes a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,543 Tinoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', preservative-laden Zerethian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zerethia's national animal is the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zerethia is ranked 11,555^th in the world and 576^th in Osiris for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 6,457.26 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
