The Queendom of Linkle is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.61 billion Linkleans 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 Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Linklean economy, worth 31.7 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 8,782 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Linkle's national animal is the chicken.

Linkle is ranked 169,757^th in the world and 1,779^th in Ambition for Most Patriotic, with 7.27 flags saluted per person per day.
