The Hardline Agnostics of Teddymania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Revered Chairwoman with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 22.539 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 Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Psychopolis. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, abortions are routinely performed in Teddymania's hospitals, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teddymania's national animal is the Plush Sharkie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Pastafarianism, and its currency is the South Sea Peso.

Teddymania is ranked 650th in Balder and 29,654th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 152 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
