The Please endorse me and Ggot of Tinhampton is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Mayor Saffron Howard AM with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.711 billion Tinhamptonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tinhampton. The average income tax rate is 1.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tinhamptonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,505 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 299,625 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of dollars are being blown on orbital weapons development, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, and parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tinhampton's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tinhampton is ranked 6,920^th in the world and 7^th in Aeternum for Smartest Citizens, with 111.98 quips per hour.
