The Colony of Tea Jol is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by DJ Moyer with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.664 billion Tea Jolians 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galapagos. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tea Jolian economy, worth 780 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,360 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots, and Tea Jol recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tea Jol's national animal is the Boa constrictor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tea Jol is ranked 110,146th in the world and 957th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 4.66 billion capita.
