The New Cruor Federation of Teirax is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 25.659 billion Teiraxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leache. The average income tax rate is 26.2%.

The powerhouse Teiraxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,858 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,444 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Teirax's national animal is the White Phoenix and its national religion is Cruor.

Teirax is ranked 230,087^th in the world and 758^th in Ordo Imperialia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
