The United Socialist States of Tibearria is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The quiet, industrious population of 287 million Tibearrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tibearrian economy, worth 23.4 trillion Stamps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 81,627 Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, corrupt Party bureaucrats are being voted out of office in overwhelming numbers, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tibearria's national animal is the Red Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tibearria is ranked 306,090^th in the world and 471^st in Starlight for Largest Black Market, with 11.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
