The Republic of Linear transformations is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.718 billion Linear transformationsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.

The all-consuming Linear transformationsian economy, worth 529 trillion Duckcoins 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 112,329 Duckcoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Linear transformations's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Linear transformations is ranked 54,258^th in the world and 167^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,839.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
