The Irn-Bru Guzzling People of Zeontarg is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Cthulhu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 48.799 billion Zeontargians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naranjo. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zeontargian economy, worth a remarkable 5,564 trillion Stirling Pounds a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,033 Stirling Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Zeontargians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, visions of giant pink Thistles are a common side effect after Zeontargians eat their meals, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive. Zeontarg's national animal is the Thistle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zeontarg is ranked 314,173rd in the world and 3rd in Hapes Consortium for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -64.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
