Tina land

The United States of Tina land is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.331 billion Tina landians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tina landian economy, worth 580 trillion Rocks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,983 Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, and meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tina land's national animal is the Cats, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tina land is ranked 248,074th in the world and 1,168th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
