Location: United Federation of Planets

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Cooperation of Federative Territories is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.348 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Intrepida. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federative Territories's national animal is the Woozle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

Federative Territories is ranked 21st in United Federation of Planets and 73,029th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
