The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.358 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 12,681 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 463,536 Zavean Standard Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best defense is a good fence, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Zavea as a reminder of their "special relationship", and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. 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 269^th in the world and 11^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 153.11 flags saluted per person per day.
