The Singularity of Galactic Powers is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Matt Olson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.936 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, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oklahoma City. The average income tax rate is 63.0%.

The frighteningly efficient a working drone economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 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 166,646 Chips, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Too many hyper-intelligent chefs can spoil the allegorical broth, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, populations of two-headed Axolotls have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. 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 43,911th in the world and 3rd in Bluecrown Keep for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
