The Commonweal of Testa is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Caterina Nogson with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.101 billion Testans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noghaven. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Testan economy, worth a remarkable 7,919 trillion Groats a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 292,235 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, one can wake up in Testa and have breakfast in Bigtopia, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and Caterina Nogson's reputation is hard as nails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testa's national animal is the Mongoose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheist.

Testa is ranked 386th in the world and 4th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 210.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
