The Empire of Tyraneu is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 181 million Tyranis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The Tyraneuan economy, worth 9.59 trillion Zecers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 52,994 Zecers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, Tyraneu City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyraneu's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tyraneu is ranked 54,078^th in the world and 2,659^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,052.41 Tourists Per Hour.
