The Commonwealth of Eastern Terranica is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 349 million Eastern Terranicans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Terranican economy, worth 37.4 trillion Terran Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 107,283 Terran Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,259 per year while the poor average 16,368, a ratio of 27.8 to 1.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, candidates celebrate "free speech" by spraying champagne all over anyone who shows up to a rally, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and the Treasury and Finance Ministry have been outsourced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Terranica's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Eastern Terranica is ranked 66,910^th in the world and 57^th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,189.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
