The Republic of The red lins is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.818 billion red linsians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The strong red linsian economy, worth 138 trillion the red lins dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,215 the red lins dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, all guns must be registered, employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, and the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays. Crime is well under control. The red lins's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The red lins is ranked 211,486^th in the world and 90^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Populations, with 1.82 billion capita.
