The Colony of New Saint Terrateph is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 2.929 billion New Saint Terratephians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped New Saint Terratephian economy, worth 83.9 trillion denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 28,654 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, it's scientifically provable that New Saint Terratephian guys don't know how to make a woman happy, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and people who have lived their entire lives in New Saint Terrateph are shocked to discover that they are not citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Saint Terrateph's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Saint Terrateph is ranked 75,064^th in the world and 846^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.67 flags saluted per person per day.
