Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Union of Tinis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by First Speaker Ovrin Lenord with a fair hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 18.239 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arx. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime is totally unknown. Tinis's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Glorvanism, and its currency is the Gerbile.

Tinis is ranked 57th in Furry Federation and 101,668th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
