The Holy Nation of Tercaz is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Joe Comma with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.059 billion Tercazians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Città del Cazzo. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tercazian economy, worth 108 trillion skinned rabbits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 102,398 skinned rabbits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, Joe Comma's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and the doctor has cold hands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tercaz's national animal is the Terry Barry Larry, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Turtlism.

Tercaz is ranked 159,377^th in the world and 265^th in The League for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 285.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
