The Free Land of Tekatus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Crispin Horatiobuilt V2 with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.88 billion Tekaix are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaesium. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tekaic economy, worth 601 trillion Novas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,307 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tekatus's national animal is the Strider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Monism.

Tekatus is ranked 99,021st in the world and 3rd in The Charter for Most Stationary, with 441.02442607752 days.
