The State of Zen Haven is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Commissioner with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 42.045 billion Zen Havenians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Zen Havenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,409 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,303 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Loans are available for students from poor families, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Zen Haven has found 2 easter eggs), and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime is totally unknown. Zen Haven's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zen Haven is ranked 134,680th in the world and 27th in Dog Lake for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
