The United States of Terrae Karunethiae is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 685 million Terrae Karunethiaeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Terrae Karunethiaean economy, worth 50.6 trillion Ómmeteraís a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 73,896 Ómmeteraís, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,571 per year while the poor average 15,073, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Terrae Karunethiae's national animal is the Karenthian Pug, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Terrae Karunethiae is ranked 198,702^nd in the world and 9^th in The Southern Lands for Most Authoritarian, with 604.26 milliStalins.
