The Republic of The teapot is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 11.033 billion teapotians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The strong teapotian economy, worth 583 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,911 rubledollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 318,900 per year while the poor average 3,948, a ratio of 80.8 to 1.

Crime is a problem. The teapot's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The teapot is ranked 35,793^rd in the world and 403^rd in The catholic military orders for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,330.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
