The Pave of Zave is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dave with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.133 billion Zaveans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nave. The average income tax rate is 38.3%.

The very strong Zavean economy, worth 976 trillion Zaves a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,479 Zaves, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, military funding has been stripped back, Zave has designated Nave as its capital city, and Dave has just been declared ruler of Zave in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Zave's national animal is the zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ave.

Zave is ranked 206,505^th in the world and 5^th in Londinium for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 36.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
