The Principality of Tyrassueb is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Alexander with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.7 billion Tyrassuebians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrassueb City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Tyrassuebian economy, worth a remarkable 5,185 trillion Crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 201,786 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, they say that Tyrassuebians made a dessert and called it peace, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrassueb's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Tyrassueb is ranked 304,142^nd in the world and 11,983^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 15.39 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
