The Protectorate of Tekoi is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 86 million Tekites are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The very strong Tekite economy, worth 6.16 trillion Tekite dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,624 Tekite dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Thrift shops are closing their doors, a government program is underway to revitalize Tekoi's beaches, children are expected to carve their own toys, and unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Tekoi City make great practice for foreign snipers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tekoi's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tekoi is ranked 238,853^rd in the world and 2^nd in Green Helmets for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
