The Federation of Zephyriana is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Luis with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.746 billion Zephyrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solarien. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zephyrianan economy, worth 189 trillion Zephyrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,599 Zephyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a politician called Male Infant O'Leary, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, and Zephyrians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime is totally unknown. Zephyriana's national animal is the Zephyr Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Mipocism.

Zephyriana is ranked 31,806^th in the world and 732^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 211.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
