The Space Empire of Tassirion is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The God Emperor Triolan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.801 billion Tassirionians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Moon base. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tassirionian economy, worth 294 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 163,379 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, and the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tassirion's national animal is the Void dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The love of the God Father.

Tassirion is ranked 27,157^th in the world and 630^th in The East Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 105 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
