Teschego has one of the highest per capita incomes in the Woqalate. Its GDP per capita is $76,552, which is the third-highest in Tierrador, behind only [[Taisgol]] and [[Las Rozas]]. As of November 2031, Teschego had an unemployment rate of 2.1%, the lowest in Tierrador.

Its GDP per capita is $76,552, which is the third-highest in Tierrador, behind only [[Taisgol]] and [[Las Rozas]]. As of November 2031, Teschego had an unemployment rate of 2.1%, the lowest in Tierrador. Its total workforce is about 2,957,882, working for approximately 197,192 total employer establishments, as of 2033. Teschego’s economy is dominated by mineral extraction and livestock, with more than 70% of the commonwealth’s revenues deriving from both livestock agriculture along with the extraction and exportation of rare and base-earth minerals, such as gold, zinc, precious metals, and coal. Besides mineral extraction, Teschego’s main exports include oil and natural gas, wool from sheep, seafood, such as salmon, cod, and crab, Polynesian fruits and vegetables, Polynesian timber, and livestock. Tourism is also a very large industry in the commonwealth, as it is one of the most visited commonwealths in Tierrador. Most employed Teschego residents work for the government, along with industries such as mineral extraction and in tourism organizations. TDF military bases also play a large role in the commonwealth’s GDP, and as of 2034, most active TDF personnel are based in Teschego. The commonwealth also receives a large sum of federal subsidies, allowing for lower taxes in the commonwealth, making it an ideal place to live. Teschego has the lowest cost of living of any Tierradorian commonwealth. | ||

Despite these advances in energy and the depletion of oil and gas reserves in the commonwealth, the petroleum industry still dominates the energy sector of Teschego's economy. Until 2029, Teschego was the largest producer of petroleum in Tierrador, now it being second, but by a very close margin. The commonwealth’s refineries are able to process 4.5 million barrels of oil per day, about 31% of Tierrador’s oil yield. The [[Cape Sudmoll Refinery]] off the commonwealth’s eastern coast is the largest refinery in Tierrador. Teschego is also home to 120 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, the most in Tierrador. Many energy companies are based in Teschego, including [[TescheCo]], [[Polynesian Energy|POLY Energy]], [[Sudmoll Refining]], and [[Natukala]]. | Despite these advances in energy and the depletion of oil and gas reserves in the commonwealth, the petroleum industry still dominates the energy sector of Teschego's economy.

===Agriculture and mining=== | ===Agriculture, fishing, and mining=== | ||
Much like the rest of Tierrador, Teschego’s agriculture and mining industries are very important to the commonwealth’s GDP. The commonwealth has the 10th-most farms in the country, and has the 6th most acreage. Teschego’s agriculture industry is mainly focused on livestock, of which it represents $5 billion worth, or half of the commonwealth’s agriculture sector. This number mostly consisted of sheep, as their wool was one of Teschego’s largest exports for most of the 20th century. The rest of Teschego’s agricultural yields include Polynesian timber, which represents $2.1 billion worth, Polynesian fruits such as [[w:Guava|guava]], [[w:Mango|mangoes]], [[w:Papaya|papayas]], [[w:Pineapple|pineapples]], and [[w:Coconut|coconuts]], and dairy products, which represent $1.1 billion worth. Teschego also has a very strong fishing industry. The commonwealth has seen a massive abundance of seafood, and has several large fisheries along its Polynesian Sea coast. Teschego exports large numbers of salmon, crab, cod, shrimp, and tuna, and the fishing industry in the commonwealth accounts for 18% of its GDP. Teschego also takes advantage of its vast mineral resources, with the mining industry taking up a large majority of its GDP. | |||
===Tourism=== | |||
Tourism also plays a large role in Teschego's economy. Some notable tourist destinations include old cities such as Tataía, Apin Tasčaí, Ashburn, and Atalokaliq, along with the famous [[Obrina Island]], which is located 90 miles from the mainland. There are also numerous ski resorts scattered across the Tula'au o Tina mountains, which are very popular during the winter months, along with the various lush beaches along its eastern coast, which are popular in the summer months. 21% of Teschego's workforce is employed in tourism, and the commonwealth attracts more than 8 million visitors per year, mostly from mainland Tierrador but also from countries like Timbia, Daxia, [[Alstin]], [[Arcerion]], and [[Urcea]]. | |||

===Commonwealth government=== | |||
Teschego is governed in similar form to a republic and has three main branches of government; the executive branch, which is headed by the Commonwealth Governor, a legislative branch, which consists of the Commonwealth Legislature, and a judicial branch, which consists of the unified [[Teschego Imperial Court]]. The Governor of Teschego is directly elected via popular vote and serves a five-year term, with a two term limit. The current governor is [[Taiya Ani]], who is currently serving her second term. The next election for Teschego's governor will be in 2037. The unicameral [[Teschego Legislature]] consists of 56 delegates, who are elected from fifty-six constituencies across all four qoyalets, which are based primarily on the population of said qoyalets. Legislative bills and resolutions are mainly biased towards more populous areas, due to the number of delegates representing those districts as opposed to less popular rural areas. The judicial branch of Teschego consists of the Teschego Imperial Court, along with the [[Teschego Appeals Court]]. Judges at all level of the judiciary are selected by partisan vote, with the remaining vacancies being appointed by the Governor. Teschego is very conservative, with the far-right [[Conservatôi uniólai Terranóc|CuT party]] consistently holding a lot of political positions in the commonwealth over the years. Most Teschegan voters lean towards fiscal conservatism and hold mostly socially conservative values. | |||
In the [[Government of Tierrador|Imperial Government]], Teschego is represented by 16 delegates in the [[Qangreč]]. | |||
===Local government=== | |||
Teschego's system of local government is complex and extensive, managing different public functions throughout the commonwealth. Similar to the other commonwealths, Teschego is further devolved into qoyalets, which do not have as much power and authority over a commonwealth government, however they do control some aspects of their jurisdiction in cooperation with parish governments. Teschego consists of four qoyalets, with the possibility of a new fifth qoyalet on Obrina Island being split from the Akúsatine qoyalet, though this has not been made official yet. Some qoyalets have a small legislature, of which 3 in Teschego have them. All of them elect a Qoyalet Premier, which serves as its head of state and government. Qoyalets typically provide services such as jails, health care, public safety, voter registration, flood control, agricultural regulations, and education departments meant to uphold commonwealth standards. | |||
Qoyalets are further divided into parishes, of which there are 39 total in Teschego. Parish governments typically have the same amount of power as qoyalet governments, though parish governments have exclusive authorities over some services that qoyalets have little to no power in. These services include law enforcement, vital records, property assessment and records, tax collection, social services, libraries, fire protection, animal control, and building inspections. In addition, parishes also serve as the ''de facto'' jurisdiction of most unincorporated areas in the commonwealth. Parishes do not have a head of state or government, and are governed by an elected board of supervisors. | |||
===Law enforcement=== | |||
Similar to the rest of Tierrador, Teschego has two types of law enforcement; local police, whose jurisdiction consists of their respective parishes, and the [[Teschego State Patrol]], whose jurisdiction consists of the entire commonwealth. The State Patrol's jurisdiction regularly overrides the jurisdiction of the local police, which has caused some issues between both sides in the past. Like in most commonwealths, some have even called for the abolishment of all state patrols, with the argument that they are unnecessary and the local parish police stations are able to govern their jurisdiction without need for the commonwealth's help. | |||
