The Republic of Christian Terra is a huge, genial nation, ruled by President Sebastian-August Leușteanu with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, devout population of 863 million Terrans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of București. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Christian Terran economy, worth 80.6 trillion Lei a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,441 Lei, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, and ample hospital parking is half-filled by the luxury cars of hospital managers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christian Terra's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Christian Terra is ranked 4,085^th in the world and 50^th in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,327.52 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
