The Oppressive Evil Empire of Testlandstuff is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Evil Emperor Overlord Vlad Nyx with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.872 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 dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vlad Nyxington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Opressed economy, worth a remarkable 3,453 trillion blehs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 317,642 blehs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,409,331 per year while the poor average 11,694, a ratio of 206 to 1.

Acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, and woodcutter axes are cited as the most common cause of death amongst Genetically Modified Evil Dinosaurs. 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 13,955th in the world and 28th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
