The Warring Republic of Terravia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Disputed with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.093 billion Terravi have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luanda and Ondjiva. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terravi economy, worth a remarkable 1,757 trillion katars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,306 katars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terravia's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is secularism.

Terravia is ranked 164,490^th in the world and 160^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.69 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
