The Syndicalist Federation of Zelenaya Dolina is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Council of the Cantons with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.73 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artyopolis - Pacifica. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dolinian economy, worth 419 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,541 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Dolinian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, Max Barry is this year's Miss Zelenaya Dolina, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables. 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 21,740th in the world and 886th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 89 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
