The Empire of Great Tyrania is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.456 billion Tyranians 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryno City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tyranian economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,789 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Tyranian language, it's always rabbit season, and basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Tyrania's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Great Tyrania is ranked 248,700^th in the world and 2,065^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
