The Oppressed Peoples of Tyranipolis is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 291 million Tyranipolisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tyranipolisian economy, worth 22.7 trillion Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 77,968 Tears, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, the nation thinks the universe revolves around them, students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, and back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyranipolis's national animal is the Slug, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tyranipolis is ranked 110,679^th in the world and 5^th in Verdania for Safest, scoring 79.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
