The Holy Imperium of Zovatidnya is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 539 million Zovatians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voskrezniki. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zovatian economy, worth 74.6 trillion Dryuls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 138,461 Dryuls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 588,754 per year while the poor average 20,972, a ratio of 28.1 to 1.

Foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zovatidnya's national animal is the Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zovatidnya is ranked 212,348^th in the world and 6^th in NS4 for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 35.11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
