The Republic of Ternas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Yan Costa Zeta with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.026 billion Ternasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Majesty. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ternasian economy, worth 157 trillion ealas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,695 ealas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial torture is outsourced overseas, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise, and a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ternas's national animal is the Gorilha Teresiano, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taiane.

Ternas is ranked 268,917th in the world and 11th in Iris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
