The Federal Republic of Zadaria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by David Saloman with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.778 billion Zadarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large 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 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zadarian economy, worth 973 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 Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,637 Zadarian Krevars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear. 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 33,866^th in the world and 1,861^st in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 107.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
