Tessen is a WA Member

The Republic of Tessen is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.819 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the carcases of double-deckers can be found littering high streets all around the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tessen's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Tessen dollar.

Tessen is ranked 7th in the region and 5,571st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
