The Galactic Star Federation of The United Star Systems of the Galaxy is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Dolores Muwanga with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.761 billion Galactians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Star Systems of the Galaxyian economy, worth 490 trillion Galactian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,766 Galactian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the hyperwealthy are given "Congratulations! You won Capitalism" trophies, farmers in arid regions are puzzled with government directions to plant rice this year, and neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers. Crime is totally unknown. The United Star Systems of the Galaxy's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The United Star Systems of the Galaxy is ranked 7,322^nd in the world and 4^th in The Milky Way Galaxy for Highest Poor Incomes, with 142,488.02 Standard Monetary Units.
