The Socialist Federation of Tikonia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by EJA with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.863 billion Tikonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiki. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tikonian economy, worth 190 trillion Marcals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 102,480 Marcals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tikonia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tikonia is ranked 49,740^th in the world and 517^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,935.1 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
