The Kingdom of Zeta Del Norte is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 694 million Zeta Del Norteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeta Grande. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zeta Del Nortean economy, worth 41.3 trillion Zetis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,569 Zetis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Zeta Del Norte" on tails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeta Del Norte's national animal is the Zeagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zeta Del Norte is ranked 80,818^th in the world and 1,785^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
