The Aquatic Librarian Knights of Tethys 13 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Grand Council with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 31.509 billion Tethysi enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atr'Lyanteth'Ys. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tethysi economy, worth a remarkable 8,703 trillion Book-Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 276,207 Book-Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime is totally unknown. Tethys 13's national animal is the Feathered Eel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Necronomiconianism.

Tethys 13 is ranked 1,303rd in the world and 39th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 332 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
