The Oppressed Peoples of Typhek is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 119 million Anthrosaurs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The thriving Typhekian economy, worth 7.90 trillion Ty-Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,425 Ty-Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The new one Ty-Peso coin also makes a handy throwing-star, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Typhek's national animal is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Typhek is ranked 319,419^th in the world and 1,150^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
