The Confederacy of New Terrasol is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.106 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 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth 959 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,392 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 11,171^st in the world and 223^rd in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
