The Kingdom of Zarvitan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Teirbun XII with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.363 billion Zarvits are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piarfar. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Zarvitanian economy, worth 297 trillion Haersoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,344 Haersoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and newspapers are running a front-page picture of Teirbun XII holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarvitan's national animal is the Duiker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lu'ophan.

Zarvitan is ranked 23,524^th in the world and 15^th in The Frontier for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,016.09 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
