The Allied States of Tletchlen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Drekstomp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.093 billion Tletchlenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tivenik. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tletchlenian economy, worth 141 trillion Raums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,140 Raums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and hospitals have unveiled new guidelines suggesting that latex gloves do not count as clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tletchlen's national animal is the Boreal Piebald Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tlaoism.

Tletchlen is ranked 18,556^th in the world and 527^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 95,588.5 Standard Monetary Units.
