The Constitutional Monarchy of Tepic is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.921 billion Tepicians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The strong Tepician economy, worth 247 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,150 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, the government is reining in public spending, the new one Delta Eagle coin also makes a handy throwing-star, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tepic's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tepic is ranked 174,348^th in the world and 9^th in Chiba for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,293.43 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
