The Republic of Tigrulia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Oleksandr Tygrulskyy with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.125 billion Tigrulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tigrulsk. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tigrulian economy, worth 135 trillion Tigriks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,625 Tigriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, some Tigrulian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tigrulia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tigrulia is ranked 93,965^th in the world and 2,388^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
