The Realm of Terra da Cinza is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by High Tenko Neves with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 13.316 billion Ashlanders are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Terra da Cinzan economy, worth a remarkable 4,420 trillion Fuzileiroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 331,973 Fuzileiroes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,318,271 per year while the poor average 16,405, a ratio of 141 to 1.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Terra da Cinza's national animal is the Novecaudas, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pure Shinto.

Terra da Cinza is ranked 2,511^th in the world and 1^st in Ashlands for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 68,420.19 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
