The Democratic Republic of Tychko is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.217 billion Tychkoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koningrad. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tychkoan economy, worth 244 trillion Kohns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,907 Kohns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and environmental legislation occurs cyclically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tychko's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tychko is ranked 35,550^th in the world and 672^nd in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 66.18 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
