The Democratic Republic of Tychko is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.257 billion Tychkoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koningrad. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tychkoan economy, worth 246 trillion Kohns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,908 Kohns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and environmental legislation occurs cyclically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tychko's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tychko is ranked 103,681^st in the world and 1,789^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.73 kickbacks per hour.
