The Republicae Phoenix of Republic of Terra Nova is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Imperator James Burgaris with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, flagrant waste-dumping, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.677 billion Terranovans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Terra. The average income tax rate is 18.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Terra Novan economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Trumpets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 120,680 Trumpets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Terra Nova's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Republic of Terra Nova is ranked 41,229^th in the world and 20^th in Callista for Most Corrupt Governments, with 52 kickbacks per hour.
