The Oppressed Peoples of Zoe life is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.441 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 76.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoe lifean economy, worth a remarkable 2,281 trillion gold coins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 138,763 gold coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,641 per year while the poor average 30,299, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, it's hunting season on loan sharks, and cruise ships arrive in their dozens to watch cruise missile tests. 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 239,708^th in the world and 8^th in Ancient for Highest Drug Use, scoring 62.68 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
