The Republic of Terra Luce is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord President Barnes with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate population of 3.498 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ingens Urbem. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, Terra Luce's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, retired racing buffalos are served truffles for breakfast, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime is totally unknown. Terra Luce's national animal is the buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Zaakaranism, and its currency is the pound.

Terra Luce is ranked 2nd in Cyclone Valley and 19,939th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 24 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
