The Grand Empire of Tyrrin is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Emperor Cathal IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 27.376 billion Tyrrinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrrin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Tyrrinian economy, worth a remarkable 8,056 trillion Dromons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 294,281 Dromons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 943,486 per year while the poor average 69,625, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.
War is made in the name of love, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Dromon charge on their phone bill, and all the playground's a stage for Tyrrinian schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tyrrin's national animal is the Lossarach Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Tyrrin is ranked 292,775th in the world and 11,233rd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5 law-abiding acts per hour.
