The Sultanate of Tirail is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Static with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, flagrant waste-dumping, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.801 billion Tirailians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordrix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tirailian economy, worth a remarkable 1,412 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 294,307 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,522,356 per year while the poor average 30,911, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.

Politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief, astronomy is stifled by widespread astrophobia, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and the public are enjoying a royal flush of tax cuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tirail's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Xaos.

Tirail is ranked 113,463^rd in the world and 24^th in Underworld for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,931.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
