The Armed Republic of Teoil is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 408 million Teoilians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Teoilian economy, worth 23.4 trillion Raminies a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,282 Raminies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Teoilians, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teoil's national animal is the Naire Oylmit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Teoil is ranked 229,940^th in the world and 5,309^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 17.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
