The Principality of Red light zone is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.649 billion Red light zoneans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Red light zonean economy, worth a remarkable 2,089 trillion beers 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, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, 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 133,548 beers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polls predict that the hot favourites next election cycle are pop idols and cartoon characters, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Red light zoneans. Crime is almost non-existent. Red light zone's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Red light zone is ranked 10,764^th in the world and 482^nd in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 412.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
