The Confederated Islands of Zanforadon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.954 billion Zanfaras are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zankatorna. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zanfa economy, worth a remarkable 1,184 trillion Draconics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,184 Draconics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime is totally unknown. Zanforadon's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Xoh'hoto.

Zanforadon is ranked 6,677^th in the world and 153^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
