The State of Tehuelche is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.777 billion Tehuelcheans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Tehuelchean economy, worth 731 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 36,995 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,523 per year while the poor average 1,987, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and Tehuelche has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tehuelche's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tehuelche is ranked 289,366^th in the world and 8^th in Maya for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
