The Tax Free Land of Zintai is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Zintai with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.887 billion Zintaians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zintai. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Zintaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,138 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 Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. 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 36,862 Zintais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Zintai's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Zintai.

Zintai is ranked 1,750th in the world and 1st in GameFAQs for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,864.76 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
