The Scientocracy of Zerethia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Enas Oitos with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.851 billion Zerethians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atel. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zerethian economy, worth 416 trillion Tinoes a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 145,991 Tinoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, Enas Oitos's reputation is hard as nails, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zerethia's national animal is the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zerethia is ranked 21,878th in the world and 1,431st in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 974.87 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
