The Republic of Terranexia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.452 billion Terranexians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terranexia City. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Terranexian economy, worth a remarkable 4,460 trillion Terranexian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 255,569 Terranexian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terranexia's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Most Holy Church of He Who Gets Slapped.

Terranexia is ranked 5,838^th in the world and 82^nd in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 255,569.17 Standard Monetary Units.
