The Holy Republic of Tye 3 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 5.998 billion Tye 3ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tye 3ian economy, worth 530 trillion Gold Coins 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 88,493 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Tye 3ian weed picker, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Yodle City" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye 3's national animal is the Cow and its national religion is Yodlism.

Tye 3 is ranked 154,245^th in the world and 7^th in Tie Dye for Most Beautiful Environments, with 512.11 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
