The Autocracy of Scusia Tirordia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Tiro I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.299 billion Scusian Tirordians 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirordville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.2%.
The all-consuming Scusian Tirordian economy, worth 995 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,047 Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 351,052 per year while the poor average 24,498, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.
100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scusia Tirordia's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Scusia Tirordia is ranked 88,382nd in the world and 529th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 515.06235785988 days.
