The Imperium of Tinfect is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Irrell Levant with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 14.486 billion Imperials are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kol. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The enormous but inefficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 1,368 trillion Iron Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 94,444 Iron Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Imperial bee, euthanasia is legal, Irrell Levant's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and the nation's infamous rickshaw ambulances often double as hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tinfect's national animal is the Mini Drone, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tinfect is ranked 87,811^th in the world and 3,731^st in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 74.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
