The Parliamentary Republic of Tystan is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Attack-Raina Asenova Government with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 5.024 billion Tystanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gornsh. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tystanian economy, worth 753 trillion Kesars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,912 Kesars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tystanians also serve as great lightning rods, the best-of-the-best athletes have been replaced by the best-of-the-mediocre, university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias, and Tystan's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tystan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Tystan is ranked 128,514^th in the world and 132^nd in Kelios for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
