The Empire of Teglene is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.363 billion Tegleneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Teglenean economy, worth 71.0 trillion yen a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,079 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign football clubs wave the Teglenean flag before every game, Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and biology and religious education classes have recently been merged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teglene's national animal is the echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Teglene is ranked 149,839^th in the world and 24^th in Rocketopia for Most Patriotic, with 9.16 flags saluted per person per day.
