The Republic of TNP-ED is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gene Erikson with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 1.705 billion Sargassians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kule. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The TNP-EDian economy, worth 79.3 trillion Dominion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,516 Dominion Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

TNP-EDian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, TNP-ED has designated Kule as its capital city, and Gene Erikson has just been declared ruler of TNP-ED in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. TNP-ED's national animal is the Gerbil, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TNP-ED is ranked 268,092^nd in the world and 5,398^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 187.57 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
