The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.814 billion Zaveans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. 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 6,315 trillion Zavean Standard Dollars a year, is highly 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 375,635 Zavean Standard Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, Angel Doves are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is totally unknown. Zavea's national animal is the Angel Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zavea is ranked 86,306^th in the world and 3,937^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 312 billion Standard Monetary Units.
