The Protectorate of Staat Tyrol is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The cynical, devout population of 11.517 billion Austrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Austrian economy, worth 358 trillion Schillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,151 Schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, gambling is outlawed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Staat Tyrol's national animal is the Black Eagle.

Staat Tyrol is ranked 203,067^th in the world and 2^nd in United Fascist Workers Association for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
