The Confederacy of Tyflugian is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by ME with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.032 billion Tyflugans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pianosa. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Tyflugianian economy, worth 328 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 21,867 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and sports club owners are having a moneyball. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tyflugian's national animal is the none, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tyflugian is ranked 278^th in the world and 11^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 680.96 on the Hayek Index.
