The Commonwealth of Telnuhq is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 345 million Telnuhqis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telnuhq. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Telnuhqi economy, worth 28.3 trillion Ciardens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Soda Sales. Average income is 82,128 Ciardens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telnuhq's national animal is the Equus Ferus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Telnuhq is ranked 274,484^th in the world and 11^th in United Republics of Ethera for Most Patriotic, with 0.65 flags saluted per person per day.
