The Dominion of Colonies of Free Temeria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 378 million Temerians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Wyzima. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The strong Temerian economy, worth 29.0 trillion Temerian orens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,786 Temerian orens, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Leader's office, a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colonies of Free Temeria's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Colonies of Free Temeria is ranked 50,108^th in the world and 2,263^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,786.13 Standard Monetary Units.
