The Federation of StarFleet is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 26.975 billion StarFleetians 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.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant StarFleetian economy, worth 358 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 13,289 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. StarFleet's national animal is the tribble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

StarFleet is ranked 69,020^th in the world and 1^st in United Federation of Planets for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
