The Republic of Tye 6 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.544 billion Tye 6ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.3%.
The all-consuming Tye 6ian economy, worth 645 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,414 Gold Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 493,960 per year while the poor average 17,697, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.
Emperor Wuff's pathetic ghost costume is the butt of many jokes (Tye 6 has found 2 easter eggs), odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and foreign powers often deal with problems that Tye 6 can't handle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye 6's national animal is the Cow and its national religion is Yodlism.
Tye 6 is ranked 73,436th in the world and 9th in Tie Dye for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
