The Glorious Land of Tyrsia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Bjourn Daks with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.182 billion Tyranti are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrannica. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tyrandar economy, worth 146 trillion Mikroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,013 Mikroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

An alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of Tyrannica, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrsia's national animal is the Vacuum Cleaner, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none.

Tyrsia is ranked 42,062^nd in the world and 1^st in Martaktiti for Most Conservative, scoring 78.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
