The People's Republic of Tylnernburg is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.661 billion Tylnernburgians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tylnernburgian economy, worth 273 trillion Yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 164,559 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tylnernburg's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tylnernburg is ranked 14,426^th in the world and 621^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
