The Republic of TEP185 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.391 billion TEP185ians 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming TEP185ian economy, worth 115 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 quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 82,889 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, programmers often reinvent the wheel, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP185's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TEP185 is ranked 14,396^th in the world and 2^nd in Pablo for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,222.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
