The Realm of Terra da Cinza is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Tenko Neves with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.34 billion Ashlanders are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio Sangrento. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Terra da Cinzan economy, worth a remarkable 2,721 trillion Fuzileiroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 291,388 Fuzileiroes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,808,338 per year while the poor average 20,199, a ratio of 89.5 to 1.
Bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art, atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, and beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Terra da Cinza's national animal is the 9-tailed fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pure Shinto.
Terra da Cinza is ranked 214,745th in the world and 1st in Ashlands for Most Average, scoring 31.29 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
