The Confederacy of Tyflugian is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by ME with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.569 billion Tyflugans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pianosa. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Tyflugianian economy, worth 340 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 21,848 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and Tyflugian's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tyflugian's national animal is the none, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tyflugian is ranked 122,256^th in the world and 5,503^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,359.43 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
