The Nihilistic Pity Pit of Terranihil is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Great God Pan with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 14.688 billion Terrarists have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zakarion. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Terrarist economy, worth a remarkable 1,392 trillion Leras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,826 Leras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, political candidates must be personally vetted by The Great God Pan, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terranihil's national animal is the Huginn and Muninn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terranihil is ranked 101,982^nd in the world and 303^rd in Concord for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,252.45 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
