The Federation of Tiodann is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elara Valenthis with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.155 billion Tiodannians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zenith. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tiodannian economy, worth 110 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,922 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, students abandon classrooms for online education, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and mechanics are often exhausted by their work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiodann's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ethical Humanism.

Tiodann is ranked 48,157^th in the world and 955^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,708.62 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
