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.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Greater Tern, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Tern's national animal is the Hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tsukuyomism.

Greater Tern is ranked 132,930th in the world and 1,799th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 241.78617859008 days.
