The Federation of Ztrana is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Svietlana Vladimirovich with a fair hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.323 billion Ztranans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ztranan economy, worth 327 trillion Davats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 141,022 Davats, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,222,076 per year while the poor average 2,619, a ratio of 466 to 1.

Children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, strategic bombers are being converted into preschools, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Ztrana's national animal is the Tundra Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Ztrana is ranked 21,865^th in the world and 15^th in Valaryia for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 5,971.35 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
