The United Protectorate of Tepertopia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gerhard von Selingen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.412 billion Tepertopians 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Happelstein. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tepertopian economy, worth 157 trillion Silkes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,216 Silkes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Classes at Happelstein University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day, Gerhard von Selingen's Twitcher account is typically used to share cat memes rather than government policy, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and Gerhard von Selingen's Twitcher account is once again only used for bragging about the government's accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tepertopia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harmonism.

Tepertopia is ranked 171,775^th in the world and 6,428^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.07 Obesity Rate.
