The People's Republic of Tingonka is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 88 million Tingoks are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tingonkan economy, worth 2.19 trillion tingo paka TPS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 24,882 tingo paka TPS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tingonka's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tingonka is ranked 72,314^th in the world and 65^th in Africa for Safest, scoring 93.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
