The Kingdom of Tysons is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Matthew Bennett with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.542 billion Tysonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tysons Corner. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Tysonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,226 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 128,534 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
News headlines suggest that Matthew Bennett has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", Tysons Corner's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tysons's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.
Tysons is ranked 7,486th in the world and 11th in North America for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 14,071.35 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
