The Confederacy of New Terrasol is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.244 billion Terrans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth 967 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,380 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse. 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 40,568^th in the world and 239^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 32.01 flags saluted per person per day.
