The Parliamentary Republic of Tithio is a massive, safe nation, ruled by king William Borallistadu with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.294 billion Tithioans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Issphollos. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tithioan economy, worth 288 trillion Royallas a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,790 Royallas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tithio's national animal is the Great yellow Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Olobluthos.

Tithio is ranked 260,747^th in the world and 6,918^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
