The Colony of Templada Plantations is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.988 billion Templada Plantationites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The thriving Templada Plantations economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 45,347 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 131,330 per year while the poor average 12,408, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Templada Plantations's national animal is the ibyx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Templada Plantations is ranked 252,596^th in the world and 42^nd in Colonies for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.11 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
