The Republic of Terra Pla is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.62 billion Terra Plans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Zeta Megastructure. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terra Plan economy, worth 217 trillion Planks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 134,209 Planks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, bike rage is all the rage, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, and newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Terra Pla's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terra Pla is ranked 149,944^th in the world and 7,780^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
