The Republic of Zavimbia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 669 million Zavimbians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Analamanga. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zavimbian economy, worth 35.8 trillion Zariaries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,549 Zariaries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, a government program is underway to revitalize Zavimbia's beaches, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavimbia's national animal is the Zebù, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zavimbia is ranked 39,054^th in the world and 148^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 105.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
