The Greater Republic of Tenelia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Queen Parrish with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 14.41 billion Tenelians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tenelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,091 trillion Platinums a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,162 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is trying to clean up all the rubbish that has washed up on the shores of Bigtopia and Marche Noire, religious terrorism is considered to be an Act of God by insurance companies, victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand, and the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tenelia's national animal is the Camden Adler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Tenelia is ranked 184,817^th in the world and 7,094^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 53.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
