The дСвобода Мысл of Testlandia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Meridian Zero with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 38.557 billion Testlandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Test City. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Testlandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,156 trillion Kronenmünzes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,936 Kronenmünzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, future leaders of Testlandia regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and solid-gold toilets are Testlandian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testlandia's national animal is the ★★★ nautilus ★★★, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Neo-Violetism.
