The Republic of Tersilon is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Anura Kumara Dissanayake with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 885 million Tersilonians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waldsaru. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The Tersilonian economy, worth 48.2 trillion tersilonian kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 54,444 tersilonian kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Motorway service stations often have a higher population than the hinterland villages that the roads lead to, city-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, babysitters are a thing of the past, and Anura Kumara Dissanayake has just been declared ruler of Tersilon in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Tersilon's national animal is the Tersilonian peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tersilon is ranked 187,796^th in the world and 4^th in Svenish puppet storage region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 96.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
