The Republic of Tetsunokashira is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 4.778 billion Tetsunokashirans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.1%.

The Tetsunokashiran economy, worth 220 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,064 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Tetsunokashira City Natural History Museum, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Tetsunokashira's national animal is the Kitsune.

Tetsunokashira is ranked 219,633^rd in the world and 1^st in Grand Fascist Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
