The Neurosomatic Technique of Tilonius IV is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Suna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.876 billion Tilonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tilonius Institute for Mental Disorders. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.0%.

The strong Tilonian economy, worth 307 trillion Delusions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,029 Delusions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,897 per year while the poor average 15,600, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, rumor has it that Suna has won three lotteries in a row, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and the best-of-the-best athletes have been replaced by the best-of-the-mediocre. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tilonius IV's national animal is the Spiny Lobe-Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tilonius IV is ranked 223,553^rd in the world and 96^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -0.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
