The Republic of TEP220 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The cynical, devout population of 884 million TEP220ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The thriving TEP220ian economy, worth 86.9 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,314 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Visitors to TEP220 are microchipped and must be escorted by a TEP220ian soldier - even to the bathroom, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP220's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TEP220 is ranked 256,618^th in the world and 516^th in Pablo for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -24.93 on the Hayek Index.
