The Black Knights of Tiber and Rione is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mad Max with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.534 billion Tiber and Rioneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yosodogville. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tiber and Rionean economy, worth a remarkable 1,810 trillion Yosocoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 212,208 Yosocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people's love for Mad Max is little more than self-preservation, blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiber and Rione's national animal is the Yoso Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liliarchism.

Tiber and Rione is ranked 8,241^st in the world and 4^th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
