The Community of Terrapin is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 3.622 billion Terrapinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The Terrapinian economy, worth 218 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,419 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, the government seizes all major gold finds, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terrapin's national animal is the Terrapin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Terrapin is ranked 111,904^th in the world and 25^th in Safari for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
