Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Tinbo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hachiko with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.18 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 87%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large 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 1,880th in 10000 Islands and 95,129th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -26 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
