The Socialist Republic of Teree is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by General-Secretary of Teree with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.248 billion Tereeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novosovets. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tereean economy, worth 170 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 136,827 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teree's national animal is the white-tailed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Teree is ranked 259,211^th in the world and 12,323^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -170.22 on the Hayek Index.
