The Progressive Commonwealth of Greater Tern is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Praetor Leni Mertens with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.289 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Genève. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Tern's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Haruhiism, and its currency is the Credit.

Greater Tern is ranked 10th in Yggdrasil and 1,640th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 17 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
