The Syndicalist Federation of Zelenaya Dolina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Council of the Cantons with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.97 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 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dolinian economy, worth 471 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 118,751 Pacific Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Dolinians like vultures, citizens have voted the song "The Council of the Cantons Smells Like A Phoenix" as their new national anthem, group hugs break out during floor votes, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. 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 215,391^st in the world and 4,563^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.47 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
