The Federal State of Terudel is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Jasper Lee Wei Leong with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.426 billion Alexians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gatayan City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Terudelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion Baavs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,132 Baavs, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Religious leaders insist all life is sacred (but not those vat-bred wretches), a third of Alexians are e-certified CEOs, the state subsidizes liposuction, and government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terudel's national animal is the Wampa, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicsm.

Terudel is ranked 25,241st in the world and 1,049th in Balder for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 18,524.17 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
