The Grand Empire of Zuvon is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Lucien III with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.027 billion Zuvonians 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, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zares. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The all-consuming Zuvonian economy, worth 657 trillion Zuvonian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 81,936 Zuvonian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Zuvon to be bombproof, children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuvon's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zuvon is ranked 96,435^th in the world and 3,735^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 8.03 billion capita.
