The Friendly Dictatorship of Tildurland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lord Tildur with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.745 billion Tildurlandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tildurcity. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Tildurlandian economy, worth 137 trillion Tildurcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. 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 78,995 Tildurcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tildurland's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, and it's all quiet on the western front. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tildurland's national animal is the koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Supreme Church of Tildur.
Tildurland is ranked 160,781st in the world and 1st in Grand Coalition Control Room for Most Influential, scoring 234 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
