The Borderlands of Zoronoa is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shimotsuki Tashigi with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.637 billion Zoronoans 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santōryu. The average income tax rate is 6.7%.

The all-consuming Zoronoan economy, worth 705 trillion katanas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 106,327 katanas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, Shimotsuki Tashigi is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Shimotsuki Tashigi has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zoronoa's national animal is the zoroark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is either swordsmanship or kendo.

Zoronoa is ranked 94,274^th in the world and 9^th in The Straw Hat Pirates for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,536.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
