The Most Serene Kingdom of Zalora-Bravo is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 707 million Bravosi are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abergain. The average income tax rate is 60.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bravosi economy, worth 88.0 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 124,504 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, heroes long thought dead are promptly killed upon their return, and women who display their ankles are shunned by society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zalora-Bravo's national animal is the Sea Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zalora-Bravo is ranked 105,239^th in the world and 2,190^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 201.29 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
