The Intergalactic Empire of Earthern Alliance is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rutweek Joshi with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, soft-spoken computers, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.046 billion Eartherners are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brahmandapur. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Earthern economy, worth 320 trillion Solar Galactic rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 156,731 Solar Galactic rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Earthern Alliance's national animal is the solar bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hattism.

Earthern Alliance is ranked 231,578^th in the world and 209^th in Lands End for Most Beautiful Environments, with 300.31 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
