The Confederated Islands of Zanforadon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.047 billion Zanfaras are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zankatorna. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zanfa economy, worth a remarkable 1,214 trillion Draconics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,539 Draconics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, gossip magazines have pictures of Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown. Zanforadon's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Xoh'hoto.

Zanforadon is ranked 3,395th in the world and 88th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 137.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
