The Free Commonwealth of Greater Tern is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prętor Sayuri Tähtinen with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.278 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 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Average income is an amazing 319,554 Golden Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
