The Paper Airplane Dreams of Tiralta is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cat with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.189 billion Tiraltans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balideena. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tiraltan economy, worth 885 trillion stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 170,690 stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiralta's national animal is the Greater Phoenix Cat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Big Tesco.

Tiralta is ranked 3,282^nd in the world and 14^th in Refugia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
