The Socialist Federation of Tikonia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Coffee Addicted Eric with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.099 billion Tikonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiki. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tikonian economy, worth 337 trillion Marcals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 108,753 Marcals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Tikonia's hospitals, the nation continues to depend on foreigners for food, economic planning is exalted as a human art form, and jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tikonia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tikonia is ranked 301,727^th in the world and 1,402^nd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.7 flags saluted per person per day.
