The Republic of Zarav is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Enlil with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.301 billion Arabs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baghdad. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zaravian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,631 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every school is receiving a brand new eraser, communists in Zarav note that wealth should be equal but that some should have more of that equality than others, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarav's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zarav is ranked 4,034^th in the world and 214^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 134.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
