The Republic of Tisulsky District is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The cynical population of 545 million Tisulsky Districtians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 55.9%.

The all-consuming Tisulsky Districtian economy, worth 47.5 trillion Ducats 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 87,180 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Tisulsky District City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', scientific ethics are on the chopping block, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Tisulsky Districtian Embarrassments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tisulsky District's national animal is the Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tisulsky District is ranked 53,035^th in the world and 427^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,449.52 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
