The Confederated Islands of Zanforadon is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.116 billion Zanfaras are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zankatorna. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zanfa economy, worth a remarkable 1,229 trillion Draconics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,338 Draconics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, bars are packed at all hours, and back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats. Crime is totally unknown. Zanforadon's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Xoh'hoto.

Zanforadon is ranked 1,830th in the world and 49th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 833.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
