The Republic of The detriot tigers is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.433 billion detriot tigersians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient detriot tigersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,552 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 135,811 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to The detriot tigers City to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The detriot tigers's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The detriot tigers is ranked 24,221^st in the world and 1,647^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
