The United States of Glaceon VSTAR is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The Glaceon VSTARian economy, worth 188 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,166 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
