The Allied States of Tekniania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Speaker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.508 billion Teknianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kivoli. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Teknianian economy, worth 294 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,596 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, decongestants have replaced pounds in street transactions, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tekniania's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tekniania is ranked 32,916^th in the world and 413^th in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 71,766.96 Standard Monetary Units.
