The Federation of Tingham is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.731 billion Tinghamians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tinghamian economy, worth 381 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,659 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Much of Tingham's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime is totally unknown. Tingham's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tingham is ranked 120,121^st in the world and 105^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,101.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
