The Protectorate of Zabhad is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector Iumo vos Delani with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 16.067 billion Zabhadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eftal. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Zabhadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion kamas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 73,062 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, the government has pledged that not one drop of its citizens' blood will be spilt, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and several cabinet ministers have complained that Lord Protector Iumo vos Delani is giving them the evil eye. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zabhad's national animal is the scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Zabhad is ranked 184,991^st in the world and 1,281^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,226.6 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
