The Supreme Pocialist Empire of The Teletubby Republic is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Po with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enforced nudity, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.759 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, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Education and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tubbytronic Superdome. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Teletubby economy, worth 485 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 129,107 bowls of custard, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. 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 2,614^th in the world and 5^th in The Free Nations Region for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,402.98 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
