The Indipendent Republic of Zavimbia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Andriamanelo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.855 billion Zavimbians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alamananga. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zavimbian economy, worth 329 trillion Zariaries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 56,290 Zariaries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", Zavimbian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavimbia's national animal is the Zebù, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fomba Gasy.

Zavimbia is ranked 48,273^rd in the world and 2^nd in Jumanji for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,023.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
