The Constitutional Monarchy of Zephyriel is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sigmund Dolton with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.093 billion Zephyrielians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thryvale. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The very strong Zephyrielian economy, worth 338 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 82,552 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zephyriel's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Seraphism.

Zephyriel is ranked 19,468^th in the world and 8^th in MJT for Nicest Citizens, with 23.07 average smiles per day.
