Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Siberian Giant Tigers is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ra with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.456 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiger Capital. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siberian Giant Tigers's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Thing.

Siberian Giant Tigers is ranked 1st in Eeeh and 98,935th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -35 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
