The Socialist Federation of -Terrapacis- is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Elizabeth Robins with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.758 billion Terrapacisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davidston. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Terrapacisian economy, worth 535 trillion Terrapacisian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,449 Terrapacisian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is totally unknown. -Terrapacis-'s national animal is the ovenbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-Terrapacis- is ranked 97,588^th in the world and 14^th in Osakaland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
