The Tax Free Land of Zintai is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Zintai with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.804 billion Zintaians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Environment, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zintai. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Zintaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion Zintais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,710 Zintais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Zintai's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Zintai.

Zintai is ranked 289,742nd in the world and 2nd in GameFAQs for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.8 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
