The Republic of Tibbany is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 195 million Tibbanyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Tibbanyian economy, worth 12.8 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,601 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, and the entire entry for Tibbany in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tibbany's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tibbany is ranked 264,638^th in the world and 11^th in Libertatem for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
