The Loud and Boisterous Past of El Tejon is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 19.653 billion El Tejonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Environment, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient El Tejonian economy, worth 632 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,206 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Tejon's national animal is the Chupacabra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

El Tejon is ranked 78,423^rd in the world and 6^th in The Sasquatch Republic for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 56.45 Effective Tax Rate.
