The Black Knights of Tiber and Rione is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mad Max with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.598 billion Tiber and Rioneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yosodogville. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tiber and Rionean economy, worth a remarkable 1,835 trillion Yosocoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 213,536 Yosocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, it's considered bigoted to assume that a violent psychopath might be dangerous, Tiber and Rione isn't what it used to be, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiber and Rione's national animal is the Yoso Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liliarchism.

Tiber and Rione is ranked 7,291^st in the world and 2^nd in Lily for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,440.55 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
