Traditional religion embody's and openly espouses concepts as {{wpl|nontheism}}, {{wpl|animism}}, {{wpl|vitalism}}, {{wpl|spirit}} and {{wpl|ancestor worship}}, {{wpl|witchcraft}}, and sorcery. Attempts at centralising the religion and its practices - which tend to widely among ethnic groups- under the theocratic [[Supreme Shaman of the Zwai Faith|High Supreme Shaman]] has worked with limited success.

| |
| Zwailand has {{wpl|universal health care}}, but public health suffers from a chronic shortage of medical supplies, {{wpl|overpopulation}}, a lack of resources and not enough well trained medical personnel relative to population. Many medicines are in short supply or even unavailable in more rural/remote parts of the country. As a result of shortages of qualified doctors, many areas of Zwailand are dependent on foreign doctors to provide basic medical care or otherwise lack it completely.

|
| |
| Zwailand has historically experienced poor public health with stubbornly high mortality rates. In recent years, however, there has been enormous progress in improving public health. Throughout the late-1970s, Zwai government focused on increasing funding for healthcare and asserted that universal health care was to become a priority of state planning. As a result, infections rates from diseases such as {{wpl|polio}}, {{wpl|malaria}} and {{wpl|tuberculosis}} have massively declined. Nevertheless, lower respiratory infections, {{wpl|measles}}, {{wpl|neonatal disorder}}s and HIV/AIDS still ranked the topmost causes of deaths in Zwailand. While {{wpl|malnutrition}}, {{wpl|pollution}}, {{wpl|meningitis}} and poor sanitation of water supply remain significant threats to public health.
| |
|
| |
| The {{wpl|child mortality rate}} is one of the highest in the world to the organisation [xxxx]. In 2017, it was estimated the child mortality rate was at 200 per 1,000, generally because of poor health conditions and inadequate nutrition; especially in rural areas. Zwailand also has one of the highest fertility rates in the world - 5.09 births per woman according to 2017 estimates - but also one of the highest {{wpl|maternal mortality rate}}s in the world at 720 deaths/100,000 live births.
| |
|
| |
| However, with the the outbreak of the [[Zwai Civil Wars]] in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Zwai healthcare system as all but collapsed in many areas. Zwailand is currently facing numerous health challenges related to growing poverty, malnutrition, the [[War in Bula]] and [[Separatist insurgencies in Zwailand]], and inadequate hygiene and sanitation; a direct result of decades of violence. In a 2014 study, Zwailand's health and development indicators ranked among the worst in the world.

Artillery
Zwai use of artillery differs from most other militaries as it is not only used against fixed positions, fortifications, and enemy ground troops but is considered an additional way of restricting enemy movements through its used an as area denial for enemy infantry.
Zwailand is believed to produce around 3 million Artillery shells a year, with a war-time capacity to increase that number to nearly 5 million according to several military analysts. The importance of artillery is written in official People's Army of Zwailand which calls for a 3-to-1 advantage in People's Army of Zwailand while on the defence and a 5-to-1 advantage on the offensive.
Each division has a Artillery Regiment and Corp several artillery brigades.
During the battle of [PLACEHOLDER], the PAZ Ground Force is believed to have fired up to 800 shell a day.
Tanks
The role of armour is more cautious according to Zwai military doctrine.
The Zwai PAZ Ground Force still fields first and second generation main battle tanks in its holding line infantry units. Often these vehicles have been observed being used in a largely being used in the role of the fire support function offered by infantry fighting vehicles. There use it believed because they represent a cheaper option with an increase in range, protection and kinetic effect over these more expensive modern infantry fighting vehicles - particularly when there are a limited number of anti-tank guided weapons able to reach them at their stand-off range
