The State of Zs is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.542 billion Zsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The thriving Zsian economy, worth 800 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,986 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,653 per year while the poor average 2,324, a ratio of 117 to 1.

Clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zs's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zs is ranked 193,935^th in the world and 258^th in Omega Prime for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
