The Democratic Republic of Zra Lingi is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.942 billion Zra Lingins love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gelempe. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Zra Lingian economy, worth 81.5 trillion Zra Lingin Rebuus 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 13,715 Zra Lingin Rebuus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Zra Lingi in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zra Lingi's national animal is the Polar small chipmunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zra Lingi is ranked 325,504^th in the world and 17,667^th in Balder for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
