The Empire of Tia Regness is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Colonel Zhuk with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.368 billion Tia Regnessi 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tian City. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tia regnessi economy, worth 550 trillion Tia Regnessi Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 53,000 Tia Regnessi Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The central politburo bears the fruits of everyone's labor, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, and all guns must be registered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Tia Regness's national animal is the Regnessi Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tia Regness is ranked 218,436^th in the world and 8,326^th in Lazarus for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 33.89 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
