The Most Serene Pitcher of Tiltjuice is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Divine Conscience with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.892 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pereplut. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Teenagers are severely punished for being out too late, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiltjuice's national animal is the Sentient Poker Chip, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Solipsistic Sophistry, and its currency is the firebreather pizza.

Tiltjuice is ranked 4th in Carnival of Souls and 5,553rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
