The Haphazardly Built Utopia of Ter Landia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Edward Robinson with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 2.943 billion Ter Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potassitopia. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ter Landian economy, worth 240 trillion bananas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,878 bananas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million bananas of property damage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ter Landia's national animal is the banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Potassism.

Ter Landia is ranked 165,501st in the world and 62nd in Dystopian Utopia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 566.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
