The Socialist Federation of -Terrapacis- is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Elizabeth Robins with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.955 billion Terrapacisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davidston. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terrapacisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion Terrapacisian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 145,564 Terrapacisian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even secular Terrapacisians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime is totally unknown. -Terrapacis-'s national animal is the ovenbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-Terrapacis- is ranked 13,367th in the world and 5th in Osakaland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,426.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
