The Armed Socialists of Zethon is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Max Power with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.657 billion Zethonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muping City. The average income tax rate is 36.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zethonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion bolivianoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 112,317 bolivianoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Robosexual marriages are increasingly common, hospital administrators can usually be found scrubbing their floors with toothbrushes, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Zethon's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zethon is ranked 68,833^rd in the world and 3,009^th in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 39.77 quips per hour.
