The Republic of Zavijava is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Legate Lucia Whitley with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 1.263 billion Zavijavans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barker. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zavijavan economy, worth 48.7 trillion denaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 38,522 denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legate Lucia Whitley has just been declared ruler of Zavijava in an international press conference, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, the denari is worth its weight in gold, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavijava's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Zavijava is ranked 164,158^th in the world and 11^th in Bigtopia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,075.28 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
