The Republic of TEP263 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.361 billion TEP263ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The powerhouse TEP263ian economy, worth 123 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,689 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TEP263's national animal is the kiwi.

TEP263 is ranked 44,317^th in the world and 138^th in Pablo for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.44 Effective Tax Rate.
