The United Nations Space Command of Geidi Centauri Prime is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Jeanine Matthews with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 39.869 billion Centauris hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caprica City. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Geidi Centauri Primean economy, worth an astonishing 25,212 trillion Gold Bit Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 632,393 Gold Bit Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, childhood friends of Chancellor Jeanine Matthews are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, Chancellor Jeanine Matthews is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown. Geidi Centauri Prime's national animal is the Stardust Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Athyism.

Geidi Centauri Prime is ranked 276,240^th in the world and 30^th in United Earth Government for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
