The Kingdom of The Tinks is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 545 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 94%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.
people are moving into treehouses in record numbers, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the government is seen to favor Catholics, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tinks's national animal is the naked mole rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the yen.
The Tinks is ranked 92,149th in the world for Largest Gambling Industries.
