The Radical Matriarchy of Zevistan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Goddess Kate with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.329 billion Zevistanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Labiat. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zevistanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,629 trillion Selenes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 198,043 Selenes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Zevistanian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, and citizens can't decide whether to be proud or horrified by the country's colonial history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zevistan's national animal is the Mermaid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Female Supremacy.

Zevistan is ranked 291,093rd in the world and 10th in Amazon Federation for Safest, scoring 2.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
