The Kingdom of Tiby is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ostaf with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.989 billion Tibyians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mialtor. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tibyian economy, worth 265 trillion Widgets a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,358 Widgets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, Max Barry is this year's Miss Tiby, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiby's national animal is the Bengal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tiby is ranked 84,659^th in the world and 4,542^nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
