The United Socialist Federation of HD 166348b is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Alera Izkoneav with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 844 million Vadaputeia are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akonzoka. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vadaputei economy, worth 83.8 trillion Kagns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Average income is 99,260 Kagns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. HD 166348b's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HD 166348b is ranked 179,265^th in the world and 2^nd in Corona Australis for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
