The Theocratic Republic of Tylastrona is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.255 billion Helladians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smyrnaphos. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tylastronan economy, worth 653 trillion Dracmas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,013 Dracmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, riots have broken out as a water shortage threatens Tylastrona's stability, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tylastrona's national animal is the Little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hellenic Polytheism.

Tylastrona is ranked 28,993^rd in the world and 19^th in Esportiva for Most Developed, scoring 83.32 on the Human Development Index.
