The Federal Republic of Federation Terra Australis is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister J C Watson with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.812 billion Terra Australians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Australian economy, worth a remarkable 1,450 trillion Australian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 212,966 Australian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, the gravy train is chugging along on a new track, minor code style errors dull the house edge, and petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Federation Terra Australis's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Federation Terra Australis is ranked 4,820^th in the world and 202^nd in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 94.82 on the Human Development Index.
