“Sic Semper Tyrannis”

The Interstellar Confederation of The Terran Communities is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Council with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.298 billion Terrans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecumenopolis. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth a remarkable 1,681 trillion Yeurollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 117,586 Yeurollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are raising their middle finger to non-digital currencies, increasing numbers of children in The Terran Communities have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, women across the country are tying the knot, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Terran Communities's national animal is the Butterfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

The Terran Communities is ranked 8,492^nd in the world and 1^st in USN for Most Developed, scoring 91.54 on the Human Development Index.
