The Singularity of Galactic Powers is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Matt Olson with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.386 billion working drones are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oklahoma City. The average income tax rate is 63.4%.

The frighteningly efficient a working drone economy, worth a remarkable 2,242 trillion Chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,505 Chips, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government expenses are beyond compare, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, the logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster Galactic Powers with trees, and the only Maxxmas gift frontline troops receive from officers is a bullet with the enemy's name on it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactic Powers's national animal is the Axolotl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Blood for the blood god.

Galactic Powers is ranked 69,698th in the world and 2nd in Bluecrown Keep for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,220.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
