The Social Republic of Greater Tiberia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jonah Re with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.351 billion Tiberians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kallipolis. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tiberian economy, worth 232 trillion Talons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 98,894 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Tiberia's national animal is the Pug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Greater Tiberia is ranked 42,063^rd in the world and 510^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 170.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
