The Meritocratic Social Union of TipiLand is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The politburo with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.334 billion Tipilandians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L'Lorrow. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tipilander economy, worth 226 trillion Tipicoins 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,045 Tipicoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, only adults may purchase violent video games, and loudmouthed journalists are given the chop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TipiLand's national animal is the Mimi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

TipiLand is ranked 282,683^rd in the world and 743^rd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
