The Holy Empire of Teoceto is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.219 billion Teocetoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Teocetoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,650 trillion Koloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 286,756 Koloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Jaywalking will put an end to a family tree, commemoration of the Great The East Pacific War costs almost as much as the war itself, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teoceto's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tecetamisin.

Teoceto is ranked 1,789^th in the world and 42^nd in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,884.93 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
