The Democratic Republic of Tykra is a huge, genial nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 643 million Tykrans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Humble. The average income tax rate is 70.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Tykran economy, worth 29.7 trillion Minalies a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,190 Minalies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tykra's national animal is the Guaxinim, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tykra is ranked 164,501^st in the world and 2^nd in Afilia for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.21 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
