The Kingdom of Tehmistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Tehmithy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.479 billion tehmies 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otterapolis. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tehmistanian economy, worth 757 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,885 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tehmistan's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tehmistan is ranked 3,890^th in the world and 200^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 135.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
