The Federation of Tiger District is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.686 billion Tiger Districtians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiger Districtian City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.4%.

The strong Tiger Districtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,706 trillion tiglets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,218 tiglets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,691 per year while the poor average 32,186, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

One of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiger District's national animal is the tiger.

Tiger District is ranked 101,395^th in the world and 11^th in Seven To Many for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,777.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
