The Republic of The Free State of Terra Australis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister De Angeli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.063 billion Australians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free State of Terra Australisian economy, worth 260 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,367 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and the law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free State of Terra Australis's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Free State of Terra Australis is ranked 8,028^th in the world and 15^th in Philosophers for Safest, scoring 124.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
