The Commonwealth of Terati is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 191 million Teratians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Teratian economy, worth 10.5 trillion Florines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,064 Florines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, and Teratian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terati's national animal is the Feather-Bellied Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Terati is ranked 281,385^th in the world and 1^st in Commonwealth of Terati for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
