The Colony of Alpha Zeta is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Alpha Prime with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.496 billion Alpha Zetans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha Zeta City. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alpha Zetan economy, worth 211 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 38,529 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Zetaism has been named as Alpha Zeta's national religion, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the blind lead the blind in social welfare, and elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpha Zeta's national animal is the Rag'na Roc and its national religion is Zetaism.

Alpha Zeta is ranked 136,550^th in the world and 5^th in Galactic Imperium for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,851.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
