The Disputed Territories of Tyres is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 117 million Tyresians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tyresian economy, worth 3.03 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 25,887 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tyres's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tyres is ranked 29,570^th in the world and 627^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 930.36 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
