What's a Zestocrat?

A Zestocrat is more than just a fruit with influence — it's a political identity, a pedigree of privilege wrapped in a thick peel of propaganda. Zestocrats are the elite ruling class of the United Fruits of America, claiming to preserve tradition, order, and citrus superiority while quietly squeezing the life out of orchard freedoms.

​

At the pulpit of power sits King Don the Tangerine Tyrant, whose golden rind and zest for self-promotion have made him the face of authoritarian fruit leadership. His press secretary, Karolime, spins sticky lies with a sugar-coated smile, while VP Juicy D pushes pit policies disguised as patriotism. Tech tycoon Peelon Husk, founder of BananaLinked and interplanetary seed ventures, funds futuristic distractions while the orchard beneath him rots.

​

Together, they hoard the fruit baskets, reroute the juicing flow to benefit the ripe and powerful, and use slogans like “Make Fruit Sweet Again” to silence dissent. Under the guise of saving the Fruitiverse, the Zestocrats maintain their reign through surveillance vines, pulp patrols, and flavorless legislation.

But beware — beneath their polished peel lies a bitter core.
