The Corrupt Partisan Democracy of Zeu is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minster Douglas Lacker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.633 billion Zeuans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeua economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 215,372 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,735,954 per year while the poor average 6,071, a ratio of 285 to 1.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, the child of a rich parent flip-flops between decadence and poverty, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeu's national animal is the Bull Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zeuan Christianity.

Zeu is ranked 219,718^th in the world and 394^th in Starlight for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 21.94 on the Hayek Index.
