The Colony of TerraCraba is a mid-sized, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 62 million Crabas are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish TerraCraban economy, worth 2.00 trillion Sand Dolla Dollas 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 32,188 Sand Dolla Dollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned The Winged Crababall fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TerraCraba's national animal is the The Winged Craba, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

TerraCraba is ranked 288,758^th in the world and 5^th in Tera Marina for Highest Average Incomes, with 32,188.15 Standard Monetary Units.
