The Tax Free Land of Zintai is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Zintai with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.708 billion Zintaians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Environment and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zintai. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient Zintaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,564 trillion Zintais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,662 Zintais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for President Zintai's eyes only'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Zintai's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Zintai.
Zintai is ranked 7,424th in the world and 2nd in GameFAQs for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
