The Principality of Thysiulia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million Thysiulians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.
The strong Thysiulian economy, worth 444 billion talons a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 55,513 talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thysiulia's national animal is the buzzard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
