The Community of Tikopia is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 132 million Tikopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Tikopian economy, worth 1.49 trillion Fakas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 11,308 Fakas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, the Tikopian government is the world's largest NGO, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tikopia's national animal is the frigatebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tikopia is ranked 279,201^st in the world and 3^rd in Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 16.95 insults per minute.
