The Dictatorship of Tyryria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Divinely Chosen One with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.935 billion Tyryrians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyryria City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The thriving Tyryrian economy, worth 366 trillion rejans a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,692 rejans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,358 per year while the poor average 10,742, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Tour guides tell passengers that there is beautiful architecture just behind the two-hundred-foot concrete walls, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Tyryria's national animal is the Tyryrian Bazinga, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dictatorial Catholisism.

Tyryria is ranked 242,238^th in the world and 8,248^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 1.9 average smiles per day.
