The Holy Blue Zombie of Tye 1 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.221 billion Tye 1ians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 74.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tye 1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 109,773 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Tye 1 flights to avoid the pay lavatories, and it turns out that trees grow on Gold Coins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye 1's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Tye 1 is ranked 295,119^th in the world and 7^th in Tie Dye for Nicest Citizens, with 1.26 average smiles per day.
