The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.046 billion Zaveans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zavean economy, worth a remarkable 9,885 trillion Zavean Standard Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 428,947 Zavean Standard Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, the nation continues to depend on foreigners for food, consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavea's national animal is the Angel Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zavea is ranked 33^rd in the world and 2^nd in the Rejected Realms for Smartest Citizens, with 501.78 quips per hour.
