The Republic of Tego is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Reinhard with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, otherworldly petting zoo, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.843 billion Tegonians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tegonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,164 trillion Valkyries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 145,816 Valkyries, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 620,030 per year while the poor average 22,086, a ratio of 28.1 to 1.

The restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tego's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tego is ranked 331,432^nd in the world and 5,174^th in eta for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 2.69 Effective Tax Rate.
