The Forbidding Hill of Termiopolis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Amug of Isop with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.24 billion Termiopolitans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isop. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The powerhouse Termiopolitan economy, worth a remarkable 3,066 trillion wings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,557 wings, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

A stitch in time could see you serving nine, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Termiopolitan pirates, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, and there's a mortuary next to every Termiopolitan restaurant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Termiopolis's national animal is the ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Terra.

Termiopolis is ranked 131,978^th in the world and 49^th in The World Rearranged for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
