The Sultanate of Tilernum is a huge, genial nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 278 million Tilerdāen love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tilerdāen economy, worth 13.9 trillion Rais a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,873 Rais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Days begin with afternoon tea, belief that Leader is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown. Tilernum's national animal is the Hooded Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tilernum is ranked 43,314^th in the world and 30^th in Byzantion for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
