The Armed Republic of Tes Colivir is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 134 million Tes Colivirians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tes Colivirian economy, worth 8.03 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,942 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Tes Colivir" on tails, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tes Colivir's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tes Colivir is ranked 125,992^nd in the world and 6^th in The Cobra for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,942.13 Standard Monetary Units.
