The Interstellar State of The Confederation of Earth is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Anton Chekov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.08 billion Worlds are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Confederation of Earthian economy, worth 716 trillion Energy Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,715 Energy Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Confederation of Earth's national animal is the Pakleds, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanocentrism.
