The State of Tyra Leigh is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.22 billion Tyra Leighians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education is also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Tyra Leighian economy, worth 493 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,011 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 182,696 per year while the poor average 15,301, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and Tyra Leigh has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tyra Leigh's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tyra Leigh is ranked 122,676^th in the world and 7^th in Compagnie for Highest Food Quality, scoring 19.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
