The Republic of Tibbany is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 206 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 Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Tibbanyian economy, worth 13.5 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 294,632^nd in the world and 19^th in Libertatem for Largest Populations, with 206 million capita.
