The People's Republic of Terrestania is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 62 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 Administration. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Terrestanian economy, worth 3.47 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 slick, highly efficient, 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 55,922 rebalanced dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, the opposition leader's credibility has been undermined by constant attention drawn to a dodgy toupee, 200 mph car chases are a frequent sight on the otherwise empty motorways, and only the brainiest citizens become academics. 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 46,238^th in the world and 878^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,064.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
