The Confederacy of New Terrasol is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.618 billion Terrans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Terran economy, worth 153 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,093 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Terran politicians, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Terrasol's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Terrasol is ranked 87,854^th in the world and 576^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Economic Output, with 153 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
