The Free Associated State of Din Zark is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pedro Albizu Campos with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 7.914 billion Din Zarkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Din Juan. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Din Zarkian economy, worth 647 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,807 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, only those who apply can study applied maths, traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Din Zark's national animal is the Coquí, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

Din Zark is ranked 79,489th in the world and 109th in Chicken overlords for Largest Governments, scoring 18.47 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
