The Soviet Socialist Shadow of Tederok is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The democratic population of 9.525 billion Tederokians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tederokian economy, worth 253 trillion rubledollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,604 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, military spending recently hit a new high, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tederok's national animal is the hawk.

Tederok is ranked 163,045^th in the world and 1^st in Questia for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
