The Free Land of Tina is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.725 billion Tinans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 13.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tinan economy, worth 294 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,162 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tina's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tina is ranked 99,022^nd in the world and 24^th in Serenity for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,452.03 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
