The Empire of Teshmir is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.314 billion Teshmirians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ahoon. The average income tax rate is 12.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Teshmirian economy, worth 293 trillion Ghanaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,041 Ghanaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The dartboard at the Teshmirian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teshmir's national animal is the Forest Harpy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Teshmir is ranked 140,673^rd in the world and 7,828^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,636.96 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
