The Republic of Zemetchinsky District is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its digital currency, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 501 million Zemetchinsky Districtians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.5%.

The thriving Zemetchinsky Districtian economy, worth 38.2 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,254 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zemetchinsky District's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zemetchinsky District is ranked 153,035^th in the world and 205^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 438.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
