The People's Republic of Tiskaiya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Premier Gergoriy Kostitsyn with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.81 billion Tiskaiyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 Pyatidovo. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tiskai economy, worth 920 trillion Zolotoes 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 191,424 Zolotoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. 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 Atheism.

Tiskaiya is ranked 12,235^th in the world and 7^th in Ridgefield for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 8,274.41 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
