The I Will Be Back of Terminator is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by John Collins with an iron fist, and remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.445 billion Terminatorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.9%.

The very strong Terminatorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,412 trillion Terms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,964 Terms, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,345 per year while the poor average 9,306, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, All must End has been named as Terminator's national religion, Terminator has designated Los Angeles as its capital city, and John Collins has just been declared ruler of Terminator in an international press conference. Crime is a problem. Terminator's national animal is the horse and its national religion is All must End.

Terminator is ranked 99,122^nd in the world and 1^st in Distant Worlds for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 919.26 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
