The Eight Provinces of Zeswela is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Peter Zeswela with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.614 billion Zeswelans 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuyburgh. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zeswelan economy, worth 423 trillion Zeswela Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,211 Zeswela Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on Zeswela's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeswela's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Zeswela is ranked 251,688^th in the world and 3,127^th in the West Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,058.02 Standard Monetary Units.
