The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 441 million Dynasts are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aenaeus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The thriving Dynastic economy, worth 27.8 trillion Galactic Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 63,014 Galactic Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, the nation leads Novastralix in per capita stalking, and murder victims' families receive windfall payouts when the murderers are executed.
