Terranova is a state in northern Arabi. It has the fifteenth largest population and the 11th largest land area of all Arabin states. Terranova has been known for its national and state parks which have been noted as 'the most beautiful parks in all of Arabi'. Costa Mesa is the largest city in Terranova with it making up 35 percent of the state's total population. The Shane River is the largest in the state, which runs from east to west. The Frank Manning National Park is the most visited in the state, with roughly 10 million visitors a year. Terranova had the most factories until 1980 when New Cambridge surpassed them. Every state's name has some meaning to them except for Terranova, which in Latin means 'New Land', due to the uninhabited area in North-Eastern Arabi being colonized after the original four colonies.

Since 1958, two people, Frank Manning and Bradley Hartley, have been elected president from the state and the 5th and 20th vice president, Warner Skinner and Bradley Hartley, have been elected from the state.

Although typically viewed as a conservative state, Terranova has primarily voted for liberal or left-leaning presidents in 24 presidential elections. On a local level, however, most of the governors, senators, and representatives elected have been conservative or right-leaning. Terranova has been known for being a very partisan state. The 6th governor of Terranova, Grant Willis, is the only governor in the state to be impeached and successfully removed from office after being convicted of accepting bribes from city officials for additional funding to their cities.
