The Concordium of Independent Planets is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chief Executive Chester Winnifred III with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 16.318 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Religion & Spirituality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Francis. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, surveillance cameras are banned, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and research into 'designer babies' is banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independent Planets's national animal is the ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the popular credit.

Independent Planets is ranked 40th in Texas and 45,662nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 136 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
