The Syndicalist Federation of Zelenaya Dolina is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Council of the Cantons with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.917 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 - Houkulani. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dolinian economy, worth 454 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,051 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. 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 19,312^th in the world and 794^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
