The Dive Kind of TestlandiB is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.141 billion TestlandiBians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient TestlandiBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,187 trillion Banks 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 129,917 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
New pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TestlandiB's national animal is the Labrat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
TestlandiB is ranked 81,754th in the world and 3,167th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,687.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
