The Watchfires of Tib-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 23.784 billion Tib-1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.7%.

The powerhouse Tib-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,183 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 91,818 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tib-1's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tib-1 is ranked 163,616^th in the world and 1^st in Tiberias for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.41 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
