The Most Serene Republic of Tedilor is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.916 billion Tedilorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The Tedilorian economy, worth 130 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 44,743 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tedilor's national animal is the Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tedilor is ranked 209,236^th in the world and 24^th in The Forge for Highest Average Incomes, with 44,743.55 Standard Monetary Units.
