The frighteningly efficient Teapeneionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,581 trillion New Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is an impressive 127,465 New Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, the government is spending serious cheddar protecting sewer rats, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teapeneion's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
