The Republic of Testana is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 261 million Testanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Testanan economy, worth 26.5 trillion Teses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,610 Teses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, Testana has designated Testana City as its capital city, and the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testana's national animal is the Testmice, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Testana is ranked 50,925th in the world and 449th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,926.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
