The Oppressed Peoples of Tyranipolis is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 354 million Tyranipolisians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tyranipolisian economy, worth 30.3 trillion Tears 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 Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 85,562 Tears, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!", and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyranipolis's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tyranipolis is ranked 190,691^st in the world and 3^rd in Verdania for Highest Drug Use, scoring 108.57 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
