The Republic of Zeeo is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 456 million Zeeoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zeeoan economy, worth 38.0 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,442 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists', the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry, and reports of attacks by bright purple sixty-foot high spiders have recently shot up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeeo's national animal is the Mockingbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zeeo is ranked 236,450^th in the world and 1,084^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 3.55 average smiles per day.
