The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cheerful population of 28.872 billion Zaveans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. 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 an astonishing 13,676 trillion Zavean Standard Dollars a year, is quite 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 473,683 Zavean Standard Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, skateparks can be found in every city, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Prime Minister Langley on Zavea's coulrophobia epidemic. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavea's national animal is the Angel Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zavea is ranked 220th in the world and 5th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 36,860.12 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
