The Protectorate of Telfa is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 24.974 billion Telfans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Telfan economy, worth 279 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 11,185 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All industry is owned and run by the government, surveillance cameras are banned, euthanasia is legal, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telfa's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Telfa is ranked 276,700th in the world and 13,576th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.73 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
