Location: The TSAR

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Stellar Federation of Telvira is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Charles Fitzpatrick Eden with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 6.261 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedomopolis. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism industries.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Telvira to be bombproof, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telvira's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Deism, and its currency is the spacebuck.

Telvira is ranked 3rd in The TSAR and 47,842nd in the world for Best Weather, with 1 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
