The Protectorate of The Corporate Zone is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 241 million Corporate Zoneans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The all-consuming Corporate Zonean economy, worth 22.4 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,085 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 417,947 per year while the poor average 12,812, a ratio of 32.6 to 1.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, the nation's air defense strategy is two-dimensional, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, and women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Corporate Zone's national animal is the Ideal Worker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Corporate Zone is ranked 108,962^nd in the world and 3,051^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
