The Principality of Tige Phica is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.495 billion Tige Phicans 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, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tige Phican economy, worth 152 trillion cents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,809 cents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", toothpaste is a mealtime delicacy, there's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tige Phica's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tige Phica is ranked 284,072^nd in the world and 1,033^rd in Concord for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.01 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
