The Democratic Republic of Tedana is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.924 billion Tedanans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tedanan economy, worth 299 trillion Los a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,205 Los, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, the government seizes all major gold finds, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tedana's national animal is the Antelope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tedana is ranked 242,500^th in the world and 31^st in Lassa for Highest Drug Use, scoring 60.44 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
