The Constitutional Monarchy of Tien-Chi is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.955 billion Tienese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tienese economy, worth a remarkable 2,092 trillion woolongs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 210,232 woolongs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,118,011 per year while the poor average 20,848, a ratio of 53.6 to 1.

Foreign workers are flooding in as woolongs flood out, commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, and the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tien-Chi's national animal is the crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zensunni.

Tien-Chi is ranked 5,968^th in the world and 5^th in The Empire of Walbard for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 51,559.88 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
