The Supreme Pocialist Empire of The Teletubby Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Po with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.65 billion Teletubbies are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Environment, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Education and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tubbytronic Superdome. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Teletubby economy, worth 471 trillion bowls of custard a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,255 bowls of custard, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Po is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, and spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Teletubby Republic's national animal is the noo-noo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sun worship.

The Teletubby Republic is ranked 19,815th in the world and 18th in The Free Nations Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
