The Republic of Tigrulia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Oleksandr Tygrulskyy with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.993 billion Tigrulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tigrulsk. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tigrulian economy, worth 140 trillion Tigriks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,538 Tigriks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, some Tigrulian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tigrulia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tigrulia is ranked 20,408^th in the world and 551^st in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
