The Empire of ISS Enterprise D is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 524 million Terrans 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 tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Command Bridge. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Starfleet economy, worth 32.0 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,058 Imperial Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,499 per year while the poor average 6,552, a ratio of 47.7 to 1.

A sophisticated government-sponsored breeding program creates normal people, there are no more heroes any more, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. ISS Enterprise D's national animal is the Klingon.

ISS Enterprise D is ranked 124,564^th in the world and 6^th in The United Federation of Planets for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,058.42 Standard Monetary Units.
