The Republic of Tisiphone is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 519 million Tisiphoneans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Tisiphonean economy, worth 35.0 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 67,476 denaris, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Tisiphone's national animal is the snake.

Tisiphone is ranked 130,937^th in the world and 10^th in Neue Golden Sands for Most Developed, scoring 57.38 on the Human Development Index.
