The Republic of Ziminsky District is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 491 million Ziminsky Districtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.2%.

The all-consuming Ziminsky Districtian economy, worth 42.2 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,902 Ducats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,604 per year while the poor average 12,868, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

The official Ziminsky Districtian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Ziminsky Districtian, and trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ziminsky District's national animal is the Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ziminsky District is ranked 102,740^th in the world and 21^st in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,790.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
