The Oppressed Peoples of Tyranipolis is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 249 million Tyranipolisians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tyranipolisian economy, worth 19.1 trillion Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,669 Tears, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, scientists take credit every time it rains in Verdania, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyranipolis's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tyranipolis is ranked 204,312^th in the world and 5^th in Verdania for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,713.64 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
