The Kingdom of Tectaera is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 29 million Tectaerans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tectaeran economy, worth 1.37 trillion Denars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,101 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tectaera's national animal is the Fearow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tectaera is ranked 215,333^rd in the world and 4^th in Imperio Domina for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 498.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
