The Free Commonwealth of Greater Tern is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prętor Sayuri Tähtinen with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.34 billion Ternans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ittermory. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ternan economy, worth a remarkable 6,500 trillion Golden Quills a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 319,599 Golden Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
