The Federal Republic of Tigerania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Thaad Asa Bouwen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.554 billion Tigeranians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kroy Wen. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tigeranian economy, worth 959 trillion Tigerian Bitcoins a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,962 Tigerian Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All footpaths have tollbooths, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, dining out often involves turtles on the plate no matter what you order, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tigerania's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tigerania is ranked 285,237^th in the world and 73^rd in The Free Nations Region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
