The Confederacy of Tyrador VIII is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Duo Maxwell with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.709 billion Tyradorians 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, 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 Gramercy City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Tyrador VIIIian economy, worth a remarkable 5,297 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 268,779 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.
The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, Gramercy City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Duo Maxwell For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Duo Maxwell's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyrador VIII's national animal is the Hippo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tyrador VIII is ranked 272,886th in the world and 300th in Wintreath for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.63 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
