The Tax Free Land of Zintai is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Zintai with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 34.554 billion Zintaians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, with Welfare and Public Transport not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zintai. The average income tax rate is 13.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zintaian economy, worth a remarkable 2,086 trillion Zintais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Furniture Restoration and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,386 Zintais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and baby clothes aren't the only things parents are choosing off the rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Zintai's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Church of Zintai.

Zintai is ranked 305,646th in the world and 2nd in GameFAQs for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -28.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
