The Borderlands of Tineally is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 3.754 billion Tineallyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Tineallyian economy, worth 109 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 29,300 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tineally's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tineally is ranked 69,065th in the world and 4th in The United Communes of Atlas for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 21.89 missed references per hour.
