The Democratic States of Teperchimoreia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 7.01 billion Teperchimoreians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Teperchimoreian economy, worth 975 trillion Freedom Units a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,216 Freedom Units, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, oilmen are in the business of greasing people's palms, and leisure is a crime in ski towns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teperchimoreia's national animal is the Democrat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Teperchimoreia is ranked 194,749^th in the world and 121^st in Lair of the Dragons for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
