Zogathon is a planet inhabited where the inhabitants carefully manage natural resources and rare animal species. Salt water from an extinct volcano fuels their hovercrafts and also naturally refuels itself. Crops are grown in temperature-controlled environments and watered automatically by machines. Citizens are each assigned a rare animal species to care for, like pinta island tortoises. Money is made from tree leaves and images of animals. Electricity comes from a hydro dam and the climate is similar to Earth. Education focuses on nature and species preservation. Transportation is by large hovercraft. Criminals receive community service or jail. Common jobs include environmental and veterinary roles as well as teaching and wildlife management.
