The Totalitarian Empire of BioTeckar is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Gustaf BioTeckar The Immortal with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.39 billion BioTeckarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zepponia. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse BioTeckarian economy, worth 495 trillion Oberian Drakmies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,957 Oberian Drakmies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer Oberian Drakmies to support "struggling" industries, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BioTeckar's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

BioTeckar is ranked 93,143rd in the world and 1st in Legion of The Shadow Stag for Safest, scoring 85.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
