The Pain Necessary To Know of Tesh Sco is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.701 billion Tesh Scoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tesh Scoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,998 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 206,023 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, there's nothing more Tesh Scoan than revanchism, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tesh Sco's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tesh Sco is ranked 58,844^th in the world and 7^th in Conservative Guild for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,577.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
