The Greater Republic of Tenelia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Queen Parrish with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 14.474 billion Tenelians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tenelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,128 trillion Platinums a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,083 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elections demand a proportionate response, the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tenelia's national animal is the Camden Adler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Tenelia is ranked 312,687^th in the world and 16,886^th in Osiris for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -6.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
