The Queendom of Tinkleflaps is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.188 billion Tinkleflapsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niffstipples. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tinkleflapsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,667 trillion Tampaxes 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 78,697 Tampaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and people take government jobs for the frequent flier miles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tinkleflaps's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tinkleflaps is ranked 15,089^th in the world and 5^th in Equinox for Nicest Citizens, with 24.52 average smiles per day.
