The Kingdom of Teriol is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Rosaria Sorenson with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.722 billion Teriolians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrane. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Teriolian economy, worth 712 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,461 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Teriol's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Teriol is ranked 149,333^rd in the world and 3,296^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 798.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
