The Free Socialist Republic of Zavina is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 33.458 billion Zavinans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zavinan economy, worth a remarkable 5,074 trillion liberty dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 151,659 liberty dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, vanity is the constant enemy of dignity, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavina's national animal is the himilayan cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalism.

Zavina is ranked 9,856^th in the world and 488^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,719.28 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
