The Federation of Tikste Landscape Conservation Area is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.161 billion Tikste Landscape Conservation Areans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tikste Landscape Conservation Arean economy, worth 79.5 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,503 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tikste Landscape Conservation Area's national animal is the gamble, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tikste Landscape Conservation Area is ranked 81,799^th in the world and 45^th in Protected Landscapes of Estonia for Largest Governments, scoring 18.28 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
