The Anarchic raiders of Teardown is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.014 billion Teardownians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burnt. The average income tax rate is 23.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Teardownian economy, worth 282 trillion Destructions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 40,297 Destructions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, and Teardown has designated Burnt as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Teardown's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Teardown is ranked 287,754^th in the world and 2,029^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
