The Oppressed Peoples of TesGay is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 3.186 billion TesGays are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped TesGayian economy, worth 74.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 23,443 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TesGay's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

TesGay is ranked 234,737^th in the world and 72^nd in Ridgefield for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -1.18 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
