The Incorporated States of Terrabod is a massive, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.614 billion Terrabods are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terrabod City. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Terrabodian economy, worth 360 trillion tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,731 tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terrabod's national animal is the venomous tasneath, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terrabod is ranked 9,058^th in the world and 130^th in Forest for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,703.84 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
