The Colony of Tea Jol is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mr Moyer with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.593 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 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tea Jolian economy, worth 761 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 165,869 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elected officials who disagree with Mr Moyer have a lot of accidents, libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. 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 285,276^th in the world and 5,085^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
