The Syndicalist Federation of Zelenaya Dolina is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Council of the Cantons with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.227 billion Dolinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artyopolis - Hokulani. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dolinian economy, worth 613 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,465 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, nude art is becoming wildly popular, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and there is something rotten in the state of Zelenaya Dolina. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zelenaya Dolina's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Zelenaya Dolina is ranked 176,577^th in the world and 3,290^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,068.06 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
