Tynnans were blessed with a world rich in natural and mineral resources. The Tynnans decided to develop their world, with aid of conglomerates in the Old Republic. The Tynnans were determined to protect their world, which remains pristine. The Tynnan government reinvested the profits from its refineries and processing plants. As a result, Tynna has, being for being, one of the wealthiest populations in the galaxy.

This wealth doesn't mean that all Tynnans have abudant fortune. What it does mean is that the entire species is supported by an extensive state-run society. Nearly all amenities, including housing, food, education, and entertainment, are free of charge. Of course, many Tynnans prefer to earn their living standards, and many devote themselves to the arts and sciences. Some live happy lives of leisure and exploration. Tourism is one of their major pastimes, and Tynnans can be found throughout the galaxy on tours, trips, and expeditions.

Many assume that the Tynnans' love of play makes them weak-willed, shortsighted and lazy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tynnans plan things down to the most minute detail.

The Tynnans have a equal and enlightened society. Great efforts are made to allow individuals to pursue their own objectives without infringing on the rights of others; Tynnans are instructed to take responsibility for their own actions and have worked to create a safe, fair world. All Tynnan citizens are recognized as equals before the law. Tynnans are an extremely pragmatic people, not given to religion or mythology.

For millennia, their society has had a novel way of governing: lottery. Those selected serve in a governing legislature; once they have served a one-year term, they may not serve again for six years. Because any given Tynnan may be called upon to lead her or his people, citizens take it upon themselvves to be informed and knowledgeable about politics. This system fosters a strong sense of social duty.

In recent years, the Tynnans have attempted to accommodate the Empire. However, the Empire has little respect for their society or system of government. The Empire knows that more resources and revenue could be generated if the Tynnans worked harder, and the Imperial governor is trying to quietly intimidate the legislature into following his goals. If this plan falls through, a full-scale military occupation is not out of the question.
