The Republic of Ld linker is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.729 billion Ld linkerians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.

The very strong Ld linkerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,903 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, warning signs caution Ld linkerians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ld linker's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ld linker is ranked 116,660^th in the world and 1^st in Ascensionsen for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,408.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
