The Republic of TinyPic is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 8.793 billion black hawks 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped black hawk economy, worth 218 trillion regions 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. 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 24,796 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TinyPic's national animal is the black hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

TinyPic is ranked 234,441^st in the world and 6,369^th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.9 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
