The Armed Republic of Tinell is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 1.764 billion Tinellians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tinellian economy, worth 64.3 trillion Tinellions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 36,473 Tinellions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tinell's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tinell is ranked 225,877^th in the world and 93^rd in New United Kingdom for Largest Black Market, with 272 billion Standard Monetary Units.
