The People's Republic of Zachinensk is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 56 million Zachinens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Zachinenskian economy, worth 3.66 trillion Dingas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,363 Dingas, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, children talking about the food chain are routinely arrested, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime is relatively low. Zachinensk's national animal is the German Shepherd, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zachinensk is ranked 124,487^th in the world and 43^rd in The United Binturong Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,655.7 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
