The Righteous Imperial Dominion of Tergnitz is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Emperor Augustus Tiberian Vera with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.872 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pretoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district, and new religious sects are squashed immediately by the government. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Tergnitz's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Varist Christianity , and its currency is the Imperial Dollar.

Tergnitz is ranked 6th in Ashazeth and 37,568th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 15 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
