The Theocracy of Zinith is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Great Herald with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The devout population of 4.862 billion Zinithians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chrysalis. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Zinithian economy, worth 298 trillion Yus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,494 Yus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Chrysalis XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Zinithians's kindness, and in court almost every witness is a hostile witness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zinith's national animal is the Twin-tailed fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Convergence of Light and Darkness.

Zinith is ranked 183,913^th in the world and 2^nd in The Banking Clan for Most Primitive, scoring -72.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
