The Republic of Tekke is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kemal Alp with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 46.332 billion Tekkeans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edremit. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Tekkean economy, worth a remarkable 8,640 trillion TKLS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 186,490 TKLS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, and arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tekke's national animal is the Kangal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tekke is ranked 2,889^th in the world and 2^nd in Turkic Union for Longest Average Lifespans, with 93.83 years.
