The Colony of TE33 is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 15.649 billion TE33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TE33ian economy, worth 677 trillion Citas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,267 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TE33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TE33 is ranked 100,115^th in the world and 1^st in Teutonic Empire for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,403.76 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
