Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Klaus Devestatorie Nation of Teirax is a colossal, economically powerful nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5.714 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A robust private sector is led by the Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving industries.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Teirax's national animal is the Charizard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Halicarnassus.

Teirax is ranked 13th in Renatia and 56,034th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -13 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
