The Exiled People of Dark Templara is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-working population of 39.199 billion Templaras 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Dark Templaran economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion crystals a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling and Trout Farming. Average income is 33,605 crystals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Templara's national animal is the Xel Naga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dark Templara is ranked 85,111^th in the world and 3^rd in Vanorian Combine for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
