The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 32.425 billion Zaveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. 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 16,113 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 496,945 Zavean Standard Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Exterminators swarm Zavean homes, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the Zavea Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zavea is ranked 207^th in the world and 3^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 26,394.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
