The Feline Haven of Tyninnia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 17.324 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 64%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios. Crime is well under control. Tyninnia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Tyninnia is ranked 4th in Monkey Island and 25,380th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 25 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
