The People's Republic of Tylnernburg is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.695 billion Tylnernburgians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tylnernburgian economy, worth 280 trillion Yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,210 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, and there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Tylnernburgian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tylnernburg's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tylnernburg is ranked 12,812^th in the world and 488^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,966.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
