The Dominion of The Aligned Stars Empire is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.671 billion Aligned Stars Empireans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Aligned Stars Empirean economy, worth 237 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,699 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 182,633 per year while the poor average 18,347, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Aligned Stars Empire's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Aligned Stars Empire is ranked 201,533^rd in the world and 10^th in Junction in Limbo for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,215.21 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
