The Federal Republic of Zadaria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by David Saloman with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.724 billion Zadarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tavanir. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zadarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion Zadarian Krevars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,788 Zadarian Krevars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a Zadarian can expect a strongly worded letter, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and the news is showing footage of David Saloman bullying an old man to the point of tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zadaria's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zadarian Orthodox.

Zadaria is ranked 90,944^th in the world and 4,462^nd in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 105.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
