The Constitutional Monarchy of Zeldria is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 232 million Zeldrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.4%.

The Zeldrian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Standard Monetary Units a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 53,409 Standard Monetary Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zeldria's national animal is the Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zeldria is ranked 105,155^th in the world and 92^nd in The Brotherhood of Malice for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
