The Glorious Land of Tyrsia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Bjourn Daks with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.938 billion Tyranti are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrannica. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Tyrandar economy, worth 103 trillion Mikroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,645 Mikroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, the fate of the world literally rests on Bjourn Daks's fingers, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Bjourn Daks's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrsia's national animal is the Vacuum Cleaner, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none.

Tyrsia is ranked 8,768^th in the world and 59^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Authoritarian, with 5,183.47 milliStalins.
