The Republic of Tekke is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kemal Alp with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 46.163 billion Tekkeans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edremit. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Tekkean economy, worth a remarkable 8,597 trillion TKLS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 186,241 TKLS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, kindhearted Tekkeans generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, a century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, and the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tekke's national animal is the Kangal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tekke is ranked 87,444^th in the world and 5^th in Turkic Union for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,756.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
