The Monarchy of Tyrorcea is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Florent Caillat with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.153 billion Tyrorceans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thonon-les-Bains. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Tyrorcean economy, worth a remarkable 1,985 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,760 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 353,086 per year while the poor average 29,435, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Cave paintings are back in vogue, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive, and even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrorcea's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Tyrorcea is ranked 320,882^nd in the world and 19^th in Aeterna Regnum for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -313.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
