The Tyrol Industries of Orthodox Gnosticism is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tyrol Industries with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.334 billion Skinriders 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.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crysanthea. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth an astonishing 15,335 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 489,426 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Orthodox Gnosticism's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.
