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 rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.037 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artyopolis - Hokulani. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dolinian economy, worth 475 trillion Pacific Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,732 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, a flying elephant and The Council of the Cantons share the same nickname, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. 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 160,874^th in the world and 3,598^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 895.14 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
