The Oppressed Peoples of Zoe life is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.309 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 76.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoe lifean economy, worth a remarkable 2,246 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 137,753 gold coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 470,990 per year while the poor average 29,621, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

The swagger of covering up is unparalleled, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, believers must practice religion behind church doors lest the government smite them with a mighty fine, and cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics. 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 32,000^th in the world and 15^th in Ancient for Highest Average Incomes, with 137,753.68 Standard Monetary Units.
