The Democratic Republic of Terrustralis is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 56 million Terrustralisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Terrustralisian economy, worth 1.85 trillion holey dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,996 holey dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, and studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Terrustralis's national animal is the kangaroo , which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Terrustralis is ranked 76,419th in the world and 2nd in Seraphim Palace for Safest, scoring 93.14 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
