The Holy Empire of the Father of TERRY is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Father Terry with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, avowedly heterosexual populace, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.555 billion Terryists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terry City. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Terryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion IQ Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,482 IQ Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, unsolved crimes are often pinned on veterans with PTSD, and foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Father Terry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TERRY's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Terryism.

TERRY is ranked 143,402nd in the world and 5th in TERRY for Most Stationary, with 188.22662953488 days.
