The Oppressive Evil Empire of Testlandstuff is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Evil Emperor Overlord Vlad Nyx with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.568 billion Opressed Ones are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vlad Nyxington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Opressed economy, worth a remarkable 4,876 trillion blehs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 334,709 blehs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,893,031 per year while the poor average 6,327, a ratio of 457 to 1.

Big Beef has a steak in national politics, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Testlandstuff's national animal is the Genetically Modified Evil Dinosaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vlad Nyxism.

Testlandstuff is ranked 333rd in the world and 3rd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 599.04 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
