The Revolutionary Republic of Free Tyria is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 590 million Tyrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiorentia. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tyrian economy, worth 67.9 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,009 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, and men's magazines give handy tips on the most effective way to throw heavy stones. Crime is totally unknown. Free Tyria's national animal is the Wyvern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Free Tyria is ranked 50,490^th in the world and 12^th in Merkopa for Highest Average Incomes, with 115,009.03 Standard Monetary Units.
