The Holy Mint of Zalidia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Wàkanàw Midinìt' with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.764 billion Zalidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akhilowìth. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zalidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion Zalids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,380 Zalids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zalidia's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nokhitow.

Zalidia is ranked 16,495^th in the world and 29^th in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 311.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
