The People's Republic of Terrestania is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 86 million Terrestanis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Terrestanian economy, worth 5.03 trillion rebalanced dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,511 rebalanced dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terrestania's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terrestania is ranked 301,782^nd in the world and 3,280^th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 86.0 million capita.
