The Incorporated States of Tera stellarum is a massive, genial nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.607 billion Tera stellarumians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tera stellarumian economy, worth 252 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,945 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 631,243 per year while the poor average 26,114, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.

Recent converts to Frisbeetarianism are just doing it for the love of the game, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tera stellarum's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tera stellarum is ranked 124,930^th in the world and 162^nd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,114.28 Standard Monetary Units.
