The Tyrol Industries of Orthodox Gnosticism is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tyrol Industries with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.16 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 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth an astonishing 12,808 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 439,240 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, chocolate in Orthodox Gnosticism has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Orthodox Gnosticism as a reminder of their "special relationship", and new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Tyrol Industries". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Orthodox Gnosticism's national animal is the Raman, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Orthodox Gnosticism is ranked 153,531^st in the world and 6^th in Grand Alliance for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -27.75 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
