The Spires of Zero-Land is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Zero with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.49 billion Zero-Landians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Null Spire. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zero-Landian economy, worth a remarkable 1,815 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 158,010 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Zero-Landian grocery store, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and Zero is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zero-Land's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zero-Land is ranked 9,749^th in the world and 564^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
