The High Kingdom of Tisopea is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.334 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, the country is preparing for war, and a survey of the nation’s rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tisopea's national animal is the stag, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pound sterling.
