The Republic of Testana is a very large, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 427 million Testanans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Testanan economy, worth 46.9 trillion Teses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,739 Teses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Untold millions of Teses are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and the only science is political science. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testana's national animal is the Testmice, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Testana is ranked 49,359^th in the world and 508^th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,188.67 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
