The Republic of Tyysu is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.486 billion Tyysuans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The strong Tyysuan economy, worth 523 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 55,175 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,837 per year while the poor average 13,279, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and glamping Tyysuans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tyysu's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tyysu is ranked 274,797^th in the world and 885^th in Carcassonne for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 423.15 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
