“Hinter dem Wilden Wald kommt die weite Welt.”

The Free Land of Tintenherz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 37.677 billion Tintenherzians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Social Policy, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunkelheit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tintenherzian economy, worth a remarkable 6,846 trillion books a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 181,715 books, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,552,590 per year while the poor average 3,706, a ratio of 418 to 1.

The national security service are a bunch of crooks, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tintenherz's national animal is the martin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tintenherz is ranked 40,921^st in the world and 14^th in Universal Dream Network for Highest Food Quality, scoring 39.92 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
