The Queendom of Tyra Melina is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 457 million Tyra Melinans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tyra Melinan economy, worth 13.7 trillion Jajons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 30,057 Jajons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, heavily stoned police officers are unsure whether the recent directive to 'clean up the streets' means arresting drug dealers or hosing down the sidewalk, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyra Melina's national animal is the Tiger.

Tyra Melina is ranked 110,052^nd in the world and 5^th in The Blanket of White for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
