The State of Zayas Beach is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The democratic population of 36.477 billion Zayas Beachians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 7.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zayas Beachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 trillion betales a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,930 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Army rations are served on silver platters, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs, voting is voluntary, and Zayas Beach has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Zayas Beach's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zayas Beach is ranked 223,664^th in the world and 1^st in Funchal for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
