The Republic of Tellesopia is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.983 billion Tellesopians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tellesopian economy, worth a remarkable 5,510 trillion Sellets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 262,631 Sellets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tellesopia's national animal is the Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tellesopia is ranked 4,774th in the world and 88th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3,307.7062164 days.
