The Republic of Ter Tyli is a huge, safe nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 304 million Ter Tylians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ter Tylian economy, worth 14.4 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,261 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, Ter Tyli's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ter Tyli's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ter Tyli is ranked 123,602nd in the world and 4th in The Pacifian Federation Colonies for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
