The FAILED NATION of Tercaz is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chimp Chimpington III with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.052 billion Tercazians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Città del Cazzo. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tercazian economy, worth 107 trillion Caps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,946 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tercaz's national animal is the Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tercaz is ranked 89,605^th in the world and 180^th in The League for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,300.51 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
