The Revolutionary Republic of Free Tyria is a huge, genial nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 507 million Tyrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiorentia. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tyrian economy, worth 54.9 trillion Florins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,205 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Tyria's national animal is the Wyvern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Free Tyria is ranked 109,046^th in the world and 5^th in Merkopa for Largest Black Market, with 2.17 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
