The Republic of Terror-Byte is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.393 billion Terror-Byteans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Terror-Bytean economy, worth 724 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,432 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The only Maxxmas gift frontline troops receive from officers is a bullet with the enemy's name on it, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Terror-Bytean as 'your finger, you fool', funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terror-Byte's national animal is the Kuriboh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Terror-Byte is ranked 8,522^nd in the world and 35^th in Suspicious for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 11,590.23 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
