The Republic of Testana is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 328 million Testanans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Testanan economy, worth 33.9 trillion Teses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,270 Teses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and kids leave museums believing that some humans have six fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Testana's national animal is the Testmice, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Testana is ranked 305,214^th in the world and 1,587^th in the West Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 12.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
