The State of Tienda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.619 billion Tiendans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Tiendan economy, worth 907 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 54,590 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,696 per year while the poor average 12,221, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tienda's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tienda is ranked 235,721^st in the world and 5^th in Seattle for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 683.01 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
