The Galactic kingdom of Tassirion is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Triolan with an even hand, and remarkable for its feral children, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.588 billion Tassirionians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tassirionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,215 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 257,967 Golds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,551,978 per year while the poor average 19,336, a ratio of 80.3 to 1.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Tassirion, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and the nation's poor can be seen scavenging trash bins for used coffee grounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tassirion's national animal is the Void Husky, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tassirion is ranked 49,245th in the world and 754th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 40.56 kickbacks per hour.
