The Second Tsardom of Tiskaiya is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Gregoriy Kuzmanovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.695 billion Tiskaiyans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oryshevsk. The average income tax rate is 94.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tiskai economy, worth a remarkable 1,639 trillion Tratans a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,611 Tratans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiskaiya's national animal is the Tiskai Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Tiskaiya is ranked 10,007^th in the world and 23^rd in Anteria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 398.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
