The Colony of Chos Bance Tern is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 10.443 billion Chos Bance Ternians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Chos Bance Ternian economy, worth 254 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,371 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chos Bance Tern's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Chos Bance Tern is ranked 125,208^th in the world and 3^rd in Insane Asylum for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
