The Terrestrial Realms of Minas Tyrrith is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Brother Cadphael with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, fear of technology, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, devout population of 13.067 billion Dunedains are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunedan City. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Minas Tyrrithian economy, worth 523 trillion Dukats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,082 Dukats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minas Tyrrith's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Polytheism.

Minas Tyrrith is ranked 18,393^rd in the world and 22^nd in Caer Sidi for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,153.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
