The Matriarchy of Tevere is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.534 billion Tevereans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.0%.

The Teverean economy, worth 429 trillion aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,351 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tevere's national animal is the bovina.

Tevere is ranked 182,039^th in the world and 1^st in the Italian Republic for Most Developed, scoring 53.45 on the Human Development Index.
