The State of Terras Antigas is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.71 billion Terras Antigasians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Terras Antigasian economy, worth 352 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,313 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,889 per year while the poor average 1,951, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Terras Antigas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terras Antigas is ranked 186,038^th in the world and 8^th in Upper Peninsula for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
