The United States of Teapeneion is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Marx Engels Lenin with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.198 billion Teapeneionians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leningrad. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Teapeneionian economy, worth 897 trillion New Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 124,660 New Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Vladimir Marx Engels Lenin is wearing this season, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits, and when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teapeneion's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Teapeneion is ranked 25,202^nd in the world and 4^th in The Apolean Frontiers for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,289.52 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
