The Oppressed Peoples of Zoe life is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.189 billion Zoe lifeans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 75.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoe lifean economy, worth a remarkable 1,475 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 131,840 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Zoe life isn't the only thing that's falling apart, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and boom-and-bust cycles are being peddled as economically inevitable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zoe life's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Zoe life is ranked 185,900th in the world and 7th in Ancient for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,773.55 Standard Monetary Units.
