The Confederated Islands of Zanforadon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Divine Sovereign Zan Xeranosis with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.961 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 1,188 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 239,590 Draconics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and the children of Zanforadon are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. 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 950th in the world and 25th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 99.32 average smiles per day.
