The United Kingdom of The Teddy is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Teddy the Great with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.622 billion The Teddians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearia. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The strong Teddyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,293 trillion T Rings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 121,738 T Rings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,149 per year while the poor average 25,168, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, and contestants on The Teddy's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Teddy's national animal is the Great Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Great Grand Church of the Teddy.

The Teddy is ranked 154,307^th in the world and 9,244^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 69.75 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
