The Democratic Republic of HighlandTiger is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Tinto with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed population of 3.439 billion HighlandTigerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highland Edinburgh City. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong HighlandTigerian economy, worth 294 trillion Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,744 Eagles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, millions of HighlandTigerians are excellent swimmers, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and the HighlandTigerian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HighlandTiger's national animal is the Scottish Wildcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Albaism Scotland.
HighlandTiger is ranked 246,220th in the world and 1st in SPTOS for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.87 missed references per hour.
