The Democratic Republic of Tjouburg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Siroko Junpoi with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.969 billion Tjouburgians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shinhon. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tjouburgian economy, worth 181 trillion Tjoiens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,145 Tjoiens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tjouburg's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tjouburg is ranked 236,799^th in the world and 5,668^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
