The Alpenrepublik of The Tirol Region is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Ulrike with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 5.449 billion Tiroleans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Innsbruck. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tirolisch economy, worth 525 trillion Schillings 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 96,368 Schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters, The Tirol Region's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, the government defends a woman's right to choose, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tirol Region's national animal is the marmot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Tirol Region is ranked 45,042^nd in the world and 36^th in The League for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 52.64 Whatever.
