The Republic of Teasonda is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leo Philippe des Oiseaux with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.465 billion Teasondans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pekoe City. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Teasondan economy, worth 278 trillion Kwaecans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,270 Kwaecans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, books are so highly regarded in Teasonda that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Teasondan selfishness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teasonda's national animal is the parakeet, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Camellia Sinensis.

Teasonda is ranked 280,045^th in the world and 5,146^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
