The Kryptonian Army of Zod is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Zod with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, lack of airports, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.63 billion Kryptonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Krypton City. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kryptonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,793 trillion Kryptonite Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 69,992 Kryptonite Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Kryptonite Dollar battlesuits, the lowest age at which one can marry has been recently lowered to 12, and speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zod's national animal is the Kryptonian T-Rex, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Book of Ra.

Zod is ranked 52,407^th in the world and 10^th in The Universe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,889.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
