Nation Population:11,410,651
Type of Government:Federal Constitutional Monarchy

What is your GDP per capita:$32,635
Please give a brief description of your nation’s economy (optional):King Hector Canchol during the late 1800s and early 1900s was not content with Teodora's economic progress. While most of the nations of the world were industrializing, Teodora remained as a mainly agricultural nation. The traditional economic system of Teodora was preventing any economic mobility and progress to occur. Hector thus began his Four Steps to Heaven Plan.
1. Free trade is the number one major concern. (Later expanded to include worker safety aboard and workers at home are not harmed by industries move overseas.)

2. The military is no longer prioritised. Military and global alliances to protect Teodora while industrializing is key.World peace is another major priority.

3. The Retired Benefits Program (El Programa de Beneficios Retirado or EPBR) ensures that retired, old citizens are given a decent income after working. (Later expanded as El Retiró y Deshabilitar Programa de Beneficios for disable citizens. RDPB)

4. Unions shall have power only to protect the interests of workers in the workforce. Political influence is limited, unlike a trend in other first world nations. (Later expanded to empathize that labor unions should only concern itself with pay, sick leave pay, work conditions, and the like. Strikes and sit-ins are acceptable but violence is not).

After Hector's death, his son Hector Canchol II and grandson Hector III expanded his father's Four Steps to Heaven to 10 in during 1947-1995

6. Education is key. Curriculum in schools will empathize on practical uses in the world and the workforce. Math, science, language skills, economics and finances are important. (Later expanded to give schools some liberty on how to go about teaching this, with one standardized tesr taken every year from 7-12 which determines school progress. Funding is based of formula grants. Basic comtuter science will also be tested.)

7. College education costs can be asked to be paid by poor/working class citizens if they are majoring in a field with high demand or a field of high importance. Free healthcare is provided for poorer citizens, and subsidized healthcare to working class citizens.

8. Mentally ill criminals or people with severe addictions are sent to rehabilitation centers instead of prisons.

9. Government agencies are all audited each 2 years to ensure revenue is being well spent. Welfare programs shall be limited to food stamps and all welfare recipients will be tested for drugs.

10. The environment shall be and will be protected by the government. The government must endorse alternative energy and protect wildlife.
