The Most Serene Kingdom of Zalora-Bravo is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 682 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abergain. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bravosi economy, worth 85.7 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 125,653 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. 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 232,361^st in the world and 4,597^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 22.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
