The Republic of Terranexia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.637 billion Terranexians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terranexia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Terranexian economy, worth a remarkable 2,863 trillion Terranexian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 210,009 Terranexian Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 810,555 per year while the poor average 37,381, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

It's said that a Terranexian always pays his debts with significant compounding, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terranexia's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Most Holy Church of He Who Gets Slapped.

Terranexia is ranked 73,565^th in the world and 606^th in the Pacific for Nudest, with 188 cheeks per square mile.
