The Most Serene Republic of Kyirim Tiberis is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 50 million Soviets 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Soviet-Tiberisian economy, worth 1.20 trillion Jodes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 23,981 Jodes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyirim Tiberis's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kyirim Tiberis is ranked 156,873^rd in the world and 71^st in Sancturia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 848.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
