Zian is an Administrative District (Province) of Zamastan. Its largest city is Tofino, though it technically operates as its own district because it houses the Federal Government of Zamastan, the Zian Presidential Mansion and the residence of the President of Zamastan, as well as the home of the legislative branch: the Congressional Hall. Arinals, then, would be considered the largest city governed independently within the district of Zian. More than 82% of the population lives in the Tofino-Arinals Metropolitan Area, with the rest of the state being dominated by wilderness and terrain too difficult to develop. Other major cities include Kelowna, Delta, Nanaimo, Wingerton, Kamloops, Vernon, and Tirzah. Zian is defined by its coastline along the Olympic Ocean and the namesake mountain ranges which feature peaks such as Grouse Mountain and Mount Qira, with former being the highest mountain in the country. Nature areas like mountainous parks offer hiking and biking trails, as well as campgrounds.

Zian has major importance to the formation and history of Zamastan. The Catica First Nations have a history spanning more than 10,000 years, with colonial history beginning in the early 1600s until the War of Independence began in Zian. In the early 19th century, Zian's development of its coastal industrial region gave it incomparable advantages over other regions of the west coast and built its political and cultural ascendancy.

Zian is one of the wealthiest and most socially liberal provinces in the country. The state consistently ranks among the best for life expectancy and low unemployment. Along with Jade, Zian was one of the first to legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis, was among the first provinces to legalize same-sex marriage, doing so in 1978 (four years before it became nationally legalized), and was one of only four provinces to have been providing legal abortions on request.
