The Hidden Cove of Teralyan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Teador Marrich with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The cynical population of 3.603 billion Teralyanians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiho Mjesto. The average income tax rate is 62.6%.

The Teralyanian economy, worth 160 trillion Emeralds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,669 Emeralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teralyan's national animal is the Sharplaninac, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Teralyan is ranked 212,923^rd in the world and 24^th in The Sasquatch Republic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 10.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
