The Republic of TEP567 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working population of 977 million TEP567ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 25.7%.

The very strong TEP567ian economy, worth 56.9 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,195 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voters are one of the nation's top imports, parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, the government forces TEP567ians to eat their vegetables, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP567's national animal is the kiwi.

TEP567 is ranked 39,866^th in the world and 220^th in Pablo for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
