The Holy Empire of Tigris Empire is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 477 million Tigarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tigrisia. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tigarian economy, worth 24.4 trillion Teren Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,153 Teren Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement apartments house giggling grannies who delightedly watch blank TVs all day long, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, and Tigris Empire has designated Tigrisia as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tigris Empire's national animal is the Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tigris Empire is ranked 254,524^th in the world and 689^th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
