The Federation of Terre des Riches is a very large, safe nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 146 million Terre des Richesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Terre des Richesian economy, worth 9.65 trillion Argents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,080 Argents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children find the right answer in school tests is always the most insulting one, copyright laws have been abolished, children often kick Okapis for amusement, and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terre des Riches's national animal is the Okapi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Terre des Riches is ranked 73,090^th in the world and 1,651^st in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 23.9 kickbacks per hour.
