The Republic of TEP165 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.397 billion TEP165ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming TEP165ian economy, worth 142 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 102,007 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, industry leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no TEP165ian emissions at all, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP165's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TEP165 is ranked 18,848^th in the world and 8^th in Pablo for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,487.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
