The Incorporated States of Tera stellarum is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and daily referendums. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.703 billion Tera stellarumians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tera stellarumian economy, worth 261 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,725 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 633,525 per year while the poor average 24,558, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Tera stellarumians's kindness, and would-be mescaline users often describe a crawling sensation on their skin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tera stellarum's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tera stellarum is ranked 253,016^th in the world and 223^rd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Safest, scoring 28.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
