The Grey Empire of Tine V is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Tine with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning cat population. The hard-working, democratic population of 22.18 billion Tinerians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tineria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.3%.

The very strong Tinerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,103 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 49,747 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 151,969 per year while the poor average 12,622, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Tine V has designated Tineria as its capital city, Lady Tine has just been declared ruler of Tine V in an international press conference, The Worship of Tine has been named as Tine V's national religion, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tine V's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Worship of Tine.

Tine V is ranked 239,677^th in the world and 7^th in The Zurg Region of Supreme Command for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
