The Armed Republic of Zinnsoldatenburg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Königin Zinnobia with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.183 billion Zinnsoldatenburgisches are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zolder. The average income tax rate is 15.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zinnsoldatenburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,657 trillion Stanums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 237,593 Stanums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, Königin Zinnobia has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, witches' brews set off Geiger counters, and product development labs spend most of their money fighting the government's patent infringement lawsuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zinnsoldatenburg's national animal is the Greif, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zinnsoldatenburg is ranked 849^th in the world and 47^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,951.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
