The Colony of Terminus Solus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Terminus with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.621 billion Terminus Solusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leviathan's rest. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Terminus Solusian economy, worth 89.1 trillion universal credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,982 universal credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown. Terminus Solus's national animal is the astral gigamoth.

Terminus Solus is ranked 124,579^th in the world and 1,877^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 38.78 Effective Tax Rate.
