The Free Socialist Republic of Zavina is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 38.625 billion Zavinans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zavinan economy, worth a remarkable 6,458 trillion liberty dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,203 liberty dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, delicate flowers faint at news of house plants being eaten, and the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavina's national animal is the himilayan cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalism.

Zavina is ranked 1,330^th in the world and 62^nd in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,302.06 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
