The Holy Empire of Tenkistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tenko with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 37.169 billion Tenkistanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenkistan City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Tenkistanian economy, worth an astonishing 17,186 trillion Tenks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 462,386 Tenks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, concussed Wombatball players cannot remember their lineup position, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tenkistan's national animal is the Wombat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tenkistan is ranked 247,218^th in the world and 1^st in Board 8 for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 4.89 tourists per hour.
