The Lotus of TEP is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.051 billion TEPians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.
The strong TEPian economy, worth 102 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,000 rubledollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,132 per year while the poor average 3,084, a ratio of 105 to 1.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, military spending recently hit a new high, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TEP's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
TEP is ranked 170,175th in the world and 1,154th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Highest Average Incomes, with 50,000.72 Standard Monetary Units.
