The Holy Zombie of Tye 8 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.637 billion Tye 8ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tye 8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Gold Coins 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, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 96,391 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Ill and injured visitors in Tye 8 have to walk it off until they return home, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, army rations are served on silver platters, and spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye 8's national animal is the Cow and its national religion is Yodlism.

Tye 8 is ranked 300,119^th in the world and 10^th in Tie Dye for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
