The Great Empire of Terposiye is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Raphael V with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.629 billion Terposiyeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cittaporsius. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Terposiyean economy, worth 199 trillion Masbles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,923 Masbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, much of Terposiye's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, and businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terposiye's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yadenism.

Terposiye is ranked 30,278^th in the world and 415^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
