The Free Land of Tepe is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Epet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.372 billion Tepesians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melep. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tepesian economy, worth 229 trillion meps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 96,645 meps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Tepe's pristine beaches, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, once-vitriolic celebrity chefs are now known for giving encouraging hugs to aspiring cooks, and stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tepe's national animal is the Cape rain frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is What Ever you want.

Tepe is ranked 22,709^th in the world and 1,141^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.36 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
