The Sultanate of Terra do sul is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 81 million Sulistas enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The powerhouse Terra do sulian economy, worth 5.20 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,154 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Some magnifier-wielding Sulistas say Leader seems a little lacking in something, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Terra do sul's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Terra do sul is ranked 36,055^th in the world and 17^th in The Archipelago States for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 59,214.63 Standard Monetary Units.
