The Republic of Tiobando is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 5 million Tiobandoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tiobandoan economy, worth 194 billion Reais a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,887 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiobando's national animal is the Tamanduá bandeira .

Tiobando is ranked 289,457^th in the world and 2,864^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
