Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Federation of Star Trek America is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kurt Baines with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.563 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Cairo. The average income tax rate is 89%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Trek America's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Egyptian Paganism and The Old Faith, and its currency is the Federal Credit.

Star Trek America is ranked 34th in Rostil and 93,533rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
