The Colony of Sagittarius Star is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.839 billion Sagittarius Starians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trantor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.3%.

The all-consuming Sagittarius Starian economy, worth 276 trillion Eddies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 97,523 Eddies, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Sagittarius Star are blocked up with orders for new public loos, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sagittarius Star's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sagittarius Star is ranked 191,343^rd in the world and 360^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 80.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
