The Democratic Republic of Tyrheniland is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 441 million Tyrennics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrhentia. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tyrennic economy, worth 32.4 trillion Tyrhenis a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,369 Tyrhenis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, the Tyrennic Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrheniland's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tyrheniland is ranked 47,337^th in the world and 18^th in The Creeds for Most Beautiful Environments, with 700.32 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
