The Republic of TEP598 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, avowedly heterosexual populace, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 924 million TEP598ians 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, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.8%.

The thriving TEP598ian economy, worth 55.2 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,745 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,939 per year while the poor average 15,716, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, TEP598ian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, and Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP598's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TEP598 is ranked 279,988^th in the world and 694^th in Pablo for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
