The Republic of Teasonda is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Leo Philippe des Oiseaux with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.535 billion Teasondans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pekoe City. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Teasondan economy, worth 276 trillion Kwaecans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,104 Kwaecans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, books are so highly regarded in Teasonda that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Teasondan selfishness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teasonda's national animal is the parakeet, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Camellia Sinensis.

Teasonda is ranked 46,281^st in the world and 1,027^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 157.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
