The Black Knights of Tiber and Rione is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mad Max with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.592 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 1,833 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 213,352 Yosocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Tiber and Rionean mussels the biggest in Lily, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. 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 291,178^th in the world and 183^rd in Lily for Most Primitive, scoring -734.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
