The Federation of Las Terrenas is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 90 million Las Terrenasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Las Terrenasian economy, worth 914 billion Palmos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 10,164 Palmos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Las Terrenas's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Las Terrenas is ranked 215,071^st in the world and 828^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 811.67 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
