The State of Tikamaganda is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 14.964 billion Tikamagandans 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, juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Tikamagandan economy, worth 872 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,328 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 375,930 per year while the poor average 3,656, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and Tikamaganda's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tikamaganda's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tikamaganda is ranked 253,666^th in the world and 8^th in Hesse for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
