The Republic of Republic of Lin is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 454 million Republic of Linians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Locust. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Republic of Linian economy, worth 37.1 trillion Monograms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,643 Monograms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Lin's national animal is the Bill, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Republic of Lin is ranked 231,032^nd in the world and 171^st in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 454 million capita.
