The State of Zendavia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Leon Symons with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 5.287 billion Zendavians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambria. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zendavian economy, worth 630 trillion Northeastern Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,218 Northeastern Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and the only place where one can see the Zendavian cherry tree is in a museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zendavia's national animal is the Canaan Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is TBA.

Zendavia is ranked 38,152^nd in the world and 2,391^st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
