The Oppressed Peoples of Teton Mir is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 608 million Teton Mirians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teton Mir City. The average income tax rate is 55.5%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Teton Mirian economy, worth 19.8 trillion monies 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, 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 32,569 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, the nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teton Mir's national animal is the human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Teton Mir is ranked 153,725^th in the world and 7,210^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 540.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
