The Federation of Zalmanza is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, compulsory vegetarianism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 451 million Zalmanzanzanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falon city. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Zalmanzan economy, worth 35.6 trillion zalmanzanian dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,039 zalmanzanian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, group hugs break out during floor votes, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zalmanza's national animal is the black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zalmanza is ranked 30,831^st in the world and 16^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,525.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
