The Socialist Federation of Tikonia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by EJA with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.823 billion Tikonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiki. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tikonian economy, worth 189 trillion Marcals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 103,791 Marcals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, Tikonian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tikonia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tikonia is ranked 181,695th in the world and 925th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 18.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
