The Holy Golden Camelidae Empire of Zephathah is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Holy Grand Master and Khagan Ramesses with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 19.688 billion Camelidh aeine are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ᠬᠠᠷᠠᠬᠣᠷᠣᠮ Qara Qorum. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Zephatiaon economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion Shekels a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 54,701 Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zephathah's national animal is the Camelidae, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cãmelidae'tl.

Zephathah is ranked 142,515^th in the world and 1^st in Lands of Zephathah for Most Developed, scoring 56.2 on the Human Development Index.
