The Imperial Free City of Tillania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Lord Mayor with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.865 billion Tillanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colonia. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tillanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,674 trillion Talers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,958 Talers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Lord Mayor steals from the rich and gives to the needy, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tillania's national animal is the Flönz, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tillania is ranked 27,240^th in the world and 5^th in The Atheist Empire for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,295.79 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
