The Empire of Tyrrhenica is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26.055 billion Tyrrhenicans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.4%.

The strong Tyrrhenican economy, worth a remarkable 1,516 trillion aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 58,189 aureuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 169,996 per year while the poor average 15,729, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

Skateparks can be found in every city, the government seizes all major gold finds, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrrhenica's national animal is the eagle.

Tyrrhenica is ranked 165,035^th in the world and 4,147^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
