The People's Republic of Terrestania is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 36 million Terrestanis are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Terrestanian economy, worth 1.71 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 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 47,569 rebalanced dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The natural world is burning as the government adds hot sauce, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. 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 259,789^th in the world and 3,924^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.08 Obesity Rate.
