The Oppressed Peoples of Tepes is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.22 billion Tepesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The strong Tepesian economy, worth 85.6 trillion damims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 70,196 damims, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Tepes's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tepes is ranked 252,388^th in the world and 3^rd in Transylvania for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
