The International Orbital Station, commonly referred to as the IOS is the largest space station ever assembled by Terraconserva. It is a joint project involving six participating countries; Eleutherios, Jackson, Paleocacher, Quebecshire, Reykanes, and Salisford. Each participating country is allowed 1 crew members maximum onboard the station, and an additional one in reserve. The project started as a collaborative effort from the economic organization JASAREPA. Eleutherios was also invited due to them sharing a space agency with Jackson, and Quebecshire was later invited to help build and crew the station. The total cost of the project was ₵150 billion Quebecshirite Credits, split between the various agencies, but mainly financed by the larger economies of JASAREPA and Quebecshire.
