The Most Serene Kingdom of Zalora-Bravo is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 657 million Bravosi 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abergain. The average income tax rate is 57.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bravosi economy, worth 83.4 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 126,908 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, livestock mutilations are on the rise, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. 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 32,331^st in the world and 638^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,080.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
