The Republic of Tigarrashea is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 252 million Tigarrasheans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.

The thriving Tigarrashean economy, worth 14.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,145 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,871 per year while the poor average 12,569, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, euthanasia is illegal, teens reminisce about when birthdays weren't celebrated with a cool glass of cabbage juice and a slice of corn-cream topped millet cake, and the army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Tigarrashea's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tigarrashea is ranked 56,692^nd in the world and 24^th in Eladria for Fattest Citizens, with 13.25 Obesity Rate.
