The Republic of TinyAntShire is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 499 million TinyAntShireans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong TinyAntShirean economy, worth 37.6 trillion Chestnuses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,368 Chestnuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, the sanitised and dull music festivals of TinyAntShire are famed for their reasonable volume levels, auditors are gutting every governmental department, and soup kitchens are the only things doing roaring business. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TinyAntShire's national animal is the Haggis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TinyAntShire is ranked 161,354^th in the world and 1,967^th in the West Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 18.12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
