The Kingdom of Terra-Nova is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sebastian Orion-Sylvester McYewan with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 21.973 billion Terra-Novans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenixi. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Terra-Novan economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion Terra-Novan Yakkis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,130 Terra-Novan Yakkis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terra-Nova's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Terra-Nova is ranked 18,310^th in the world and 1,194^th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,085.37 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
