The Equatorial Republic of Tishanda is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ernesto Ibagan with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 25.367 billion Tishandans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laharu. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tishandan economy, worth a remarkable 2,120 trillion Tishans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 83,611 Tishans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Tishans of property damage, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Puwayan Tiger sacrifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tishanda's national animal is the Puwayan Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tishanda is ranked 24,565^th in the world and 103^rd in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 84.55 on the Human Development Index.
