The Free Land of Tintamarre is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 18.016 billion Tintamarriens 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlesville. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Tintamarrien economy, worth 647 trillion piastres a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,914 piastres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime is totally unknown. Tintamarre's national animal is the castor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tintamarre is ranked 120,398th in the world and 26th in The Maritimes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
