The Oppressive Evil Empire of Testlandstuff is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Evil Emperor Overlord Vlad Nyx with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, fear of technology, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.821 billion Opressed Ones 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vlad Nyxington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Opressed economy, worth a remarkable 3,429 trillion blehs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 316,914 blehs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,345,304 per year while the poor average 12,823, a ratio of 182 to 1.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, and the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Testlandstuff's national animal is the Genetically Modified Evil Dinosaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vlad Nyxism.

Testlandstuff is ranked 334,208^th in the world and 104^th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 1.75 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
