The East Pacific of TEP is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.576 billion TEPians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong TEPian economy, worth 278 trillion lotuses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,000 lotuses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,132 per year while the poor average 3,084, a ratio of 105 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, military spending recently hit a new high, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TEP's national animal is the TEPig, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

TEP is ranked 215,825^th in the world and 9^th in TEP for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
