The Northern Hinterland of Teaberry is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hattix XI with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.748 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Defence are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rossyth. The average income tax rate is 28%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, organ donation is compulsory, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teaberry's national animal is the almadirro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the bra strap.

Teaberry is ranked 116th in Lazarus and 1,869th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 30 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
