The Republic of Zena is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.064 billion Zenéixi 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zena. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zenéize economy, worth a remarkable 1,494 trillion Zenovìns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 164,845 Zenovìns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 465,979 per year while the poor average 46,656, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The practice of capital punishment proves divisive, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and when it comes to flavor there's no gain without pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zena's national animal is the Grifón, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zena is ranked 124,445^th in the world and 1,195^th in the West Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,390.6 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
