The Interstellar Confederacy of Stellar Colonies is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Confederate Assembly with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.535 billion Confederates have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth a remarkable 2,322 trillion Confederate Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,121 Confederate Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Confederate Credits are spent to take high-quality photos of the Jar Jar Nebula, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stellar Colonies's national animal is the Jar Jar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stellar Colonies is ranked 8,079^th in the world and 148^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 463.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
