The Democratic Republic of Zaleinsia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sarinahi Ling-Su with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.874 billion Zaleinsians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urehan City. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zaleinsian economy, worth 120 trillion Zalens a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,510 Zalens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Zaleinsian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, the Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaleinsia's national animal is the Thunder Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zaleinsia is ranked 186,527^th in the world and 4^th in United Conservative Aamanateen Republics for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 820.96 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
