The Isle of Tikkun is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Timon Adas with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.984 billion Tikkunians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haza. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The very strong Tikkunian economy, worth 644 trillion barzels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 71,695 barzels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 207,638 per year while the poor average 19,618, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Teholm-Elism has been named as Tikkun's national religion, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tikkun's national animal is the vampire squid, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Teholm-Elism.

Tikkun is ranked 82,994^th in the world and 10^th in Ireland for Highest Drug Use, scoring 210.41 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
