The Empire of Tinbo is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Hachiko with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.323 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hachiko City. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tinbo's national animal is the Akita Inu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Paws.

Tinbo is ranked 1,627th in 10000 Islands and 103,125th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
