The Republic of TEP59 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 884 million TEP59ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The powerhouse TEP59ian economy, worth 96.7 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,390 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,151 per year while the poor average 25,095, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP59's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TEP59 is ranked 27,927^th in the world and 7^th in Pablo for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 17,386.77 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
