Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Most Serene Republic of Ter Emco is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 446 million Ter Emcoans 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ter Mocan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.

The thriving Ter Emcoan economy, worth 34.6 trillion Creditory Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,621 Creditory Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 223,190 per year while the poor average 21,454, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ter Emco's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ter Emco is ranked 311,928^th in the world and 231^st in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Smartest Citizens, with 14.14 quips per hour.
