The Feline Haven of Tyninnia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Garfield with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 41.161 billion Tyninnians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felinis. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Tyninnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,625 trillion catnips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 88,068 catnips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyninnia's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is lasagnaism.
Tyninnia is ranked 239,321st in the world and 9th in Paradise Farm for Most Primitive, scoring -124.53 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
