The Federal Republic of Tesco Aisle 17 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 741 million Tesconians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garden City. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tesconian economy, worth 76.3 trillion Meal Deals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,988 Meal Deals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, the smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, and mathematicians are hated by children across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tesco Aisle 17's national animal is the Clubcard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tesco Aisle 17 is ranked 271,687^th in the world and 5,910^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
