The People's Confederation of Sanctum Teriaris is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Carli Demastrum with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.675 billion Terisians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sancta Arphos. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sanctum Teriarisian economy, worth 572 trillion Terris 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,810 Terris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, Sanctum Teriarisian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanctum Teriaris's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sanctum Teriaris is ranked 13,519^th in the world and 600^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 117.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
