The Citizenly governed island of Teffland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maya Dumahe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.899 billion Tefflandians 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludwigshaven. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tefflandian economy, worth 316 trillion Teffoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,941 Teffoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and books are so highly regarded in Teffland that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teffland's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pfftah.

Teffland is ranked 11,238^th in the world and 230^th in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 114 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
