The Titanium of Ti is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.051 billion Tians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tian economy, worth a remarkable 2,565 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,947 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners are granted clemency from being ritually sacrificed, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ti's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ti is ranked 308,183rd in the world and 1,263rd in Europeia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 20.6 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
