The Republic of Tyroclausia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Nick Caldwell with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 13.483 billion Tyroclausians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stygian Xērá. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tyroclausian economy, worth 993 trillion Knots a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,665 Knots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, a soldier's body is a temple, Nick Caldwell claims to be the epitome of family values, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tyroclausia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Tyroclausia is ranked 235,786^th in the world and 13,294^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,052.36 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
