The Queendom of Zovara is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 897 million Zovarans 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Zovaran economy, worth 12.0 trillion Hasvas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,340 Hasvas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Zovaran democracy, Zovara has designated Zovara City as its capital city, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zovara's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zovara is ranked 292,655^th in the world and 424^th in Dimmersun for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 408.39 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
