The Colony of TEOL33 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 16.34 billion TEOL33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TEOL33ian economy, worth 697 trillion Citas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,707 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TEOL33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TEOL33 is ranked 119,279^th in the world and 1^st in The Empire of Lights for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,332.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
