The Grand Duchy of Tyltto is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.399 billion Tylttoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.8%.

The Tylttoan economy, worth 211 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,003 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers get their license without taking the test, a major religion has been named as Tyltto's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Tyltto in an international press conference, and Tyltto has designated Tyltto City as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyltto's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tyltto is ranked 135,053^rd in the world and 3^rd in Hargeisa for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 79.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
