The Oppressed Peoples of Zoe life is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.369 billion Zoe lifeans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoe lifean economy, worth a remarkable 2,254 trillion gold coins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 137,731 gold coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 459,182 per year while the poor average 30,759, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, all weapon research has been banned, bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, and armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zoe life's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Zoe life is ranked 5,301^st in the world and 5^th in Ancient for Largest Black Market, with 1,614 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
