The Republic of Tezlafia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 708 million Tezlafians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Salamanderian. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tezlafian economy, worth 76.6 trillion Tezzy Bucks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,253 Tezzy Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tezlafia's national animal is the The Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tezlafia is ranked 23,280^th in the world and 93^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,060.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
