The Community of Zerith is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-working, democratic population of 409 million Zerithians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.5%.

The very strong Zerithian economy, worth 18.0 trillion Zerins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,955 Zerins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Zerith's national animal is the The Obsidian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zerith is ranked 17,347^th in the world and 1^st in Nyrex for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,316.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
