The Free Land of Tessna is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 287 million Tessnans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tessnan economy, worth 15.1 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,464 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, the police insist that racism does not exist, towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tessna's national animal is the sheldon cooper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tessna is ranked 160,020^th in the world and 135^th in Benigtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,464.12 Standard Monetary Units.
