The ☿️ TechnoSocialist Empire of Greater Zeritae is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.02 billion Zeritans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Renaek. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zeritaean economy, worth 818 trillion derndis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,110 derndis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government snoops on private internet connections, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Zeritae's national animal is the Harakell, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mendesmetetics.

Greater Zeritae is ranked 256,029^th in the world and 5,079^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
