The Sovereign Principality of Zajazhas is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Princess Madeline with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.6 billion Zajazhasians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyrana. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zajazhasi economy, worth 265 trillion Prisms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 102,056 Prisms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), the most recent election was a close race between Princess Madeline and Princess Madeline, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zajazhas's national animal is the Kuchipatchi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Emerald Path.

Zajazhas is ranked 5,080^th in the world and 5^th in Sparkalia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,336 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
