The Drozhinate of Lesser Tion is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Yeaster Beast with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.674 billion Tionites 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascomycotopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tionese economy, worth a remarkable 3,046 trillion Cashbucks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,394 Cashbucks, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and lottery winners spend most of their money on security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Tion's national animal is the Ждун and its national religion is Saccharomycotinism.

Lesser Tion is ranked 316,359^th in the world and 5^th in The White Stag Republic for Safest, scoring 7.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
