The Democratic Republic of Terraopolis is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 449 million Terraopolisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cevubo. The average income tax rate is 29.8%.

The strong Terraopolisian economy, worth 25.2 trillion Gaian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,130 Gaian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, Terraopolis has designated Cevubo as its capital city, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terraopolis's national animal is the Elephant.

Terraopolis is ranked 221,769^th in the world and 15^th in Union of Conlang Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
