The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.363 billion Zaveans 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 Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zavean economy, worth an astonishing 12,683 trillion Zavean Standard Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 463,528 Zavean Standard Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, Prime Minister Langley can cry on demand, the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavea's national animal is the Angel Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zavea is ranked 210^th in the world and 10^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 92.81 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
