The State of Tehuelches is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.42 billion Tehuelchesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 11.8%.

The strong Tehuelchesian economy, worth 842 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,285 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, school uniforms are compulsory, Tehuelches has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Tehuelches in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tehuelches's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tehuelches is ranked 222,886^th in the world and 1^st in The Far South for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
