The Galactic Empire of Nova Montron is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Zet with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.122 billion Zetanoose hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ormon. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetanoose economy, worth a remarkable 2,167 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 214,116 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, in a fit of passion Emperor Zet has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nova Montron's national animal is the Zulum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Montron is ranked 267,376^th in the world and 12,557^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.51 crimes per hour.
