The United Imperium of Zeepind is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 603 million Zeepinders 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novrup City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeepindian economy, worth 77.5 trillion Rigemarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 128,527 Rigemarks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 790,303 per year while the poor average 9,122, a ratio of 86.6 to 1.

Electrocution deaths among computer technicians are at an all-time high, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Zeepind's national animal is the Kejserlig Ørn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zeepind is ranked 284,828^th in the world and 116^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
