The Nomadic Peoples of Thycinia is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 244 million Thyceni are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The powerhouse Thycene economy, worth 20.0 trillion Variouses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 82,054 Variouses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,149 per year while the poor average 11,702, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Thycinia's national animal is the Gyrfalcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Thycinia is ranked 103,556^th in the world and 160^th in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 13.63 kickbacks per hour.
