The Autocracy of Scusia Tirordia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Tiro I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.398 billion Scusian Tirordians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirordville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.7%.

The all-consuming Scusian Tirordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion Dinars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 110,541 Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,330 per year while the poor average 25,420, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Billions of Dinars are being blown on orbital weapons development, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scusia Tirordia's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Scusia Tirordia is ranked 48,631^st in the world and 575^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
