The Commonwealth of Zesole is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Miralina Vivienne van Lancrest III with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 2.003 billion Zesoleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Preyden. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zesolean economy, worth 110 trillion Jikas a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,385 Jikas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zesole's national animal is the Northern Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zesole is ranked 113,294^th in the world and 111^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 58.96 on the Human Development Index.
