The Queendom of Tinkleflaps is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.614 billion Tinkleflapsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niffstipples. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tinkleflapsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,696 trillion Tampaxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 78,505 Tampaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees from Tinkleflaps dominate international lumberjack competitions, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tinkleflaps's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tinkleflaps is ranked 321,163^rd in the world and 8^th in Equinox for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
