The Republic of Tyuleniy is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 3.93 billion Tyulenics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morskoy. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tyuleniyian economy, worth 154 trillion ولغام Ulgams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,270 ولغام Ulgams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyuleniy's national animal is the Beluga Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tyuleniy is ranked 136,766^th in the world and 251^st in The Free Nations Region for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 65.8 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
