The Free Land of Tiger Balm is a huge, genial nation, notable for its fear of technology, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 248 million Tiger Balmians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tiger Balmian economy, worth 12.8 trillion Balms a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,652 Balms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiger Balm's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tiger Balm is ranked 39,196^th in the world and 89^th in The Wellspring for Safest, scoring 105.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
