The Protectorate of Theepuble Eose is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 389 million Theepuble Eoseans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.7%.

The very strong Theepuble Eosean economy, worth 34.1 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,677 marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Helicopter parenting is on the rise, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, vaccinations are mandatory, and bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theepuble Eose's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Theepuble Eose is ranked 192,519^th in the world and 150^th in Refugia for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
