The Commonwealth of Tillaania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 592 million Tillaanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eliasson. The average income tax rate is 25.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tillaanian economy, worth 77.5 trillion parrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,882 parrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Most ambassadors from Tillaania retire only a few years after being appointed, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tillaania's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tillaania is ranked 25,616^th in the world and 58^th in Lands End for Smartest Citizens, with 53.41 quips per hour.
