The Republic of New Lindale is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nicholas Cumberland with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.907 billion Lindalites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albany. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lindali economy, worth 671 trillion Lindale Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 136,806 Lindale Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, if you die during a restaurant meal the government will pick up the bill, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lindale's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Protestantism.

New Lindale is ranked 119,944^th in the world and 2^nd in ecco for Most Influential, scoring 76 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
