The Confederacy of Interdependent Systems is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.601 billion Raxans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raxus Omegus. The average income tax rate is 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Interdependent Systemsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion credits 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. 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 an impressive 144,646 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Rumor has it that God Emperor has won three lotteries in a row, nudity is frowned upon, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interdependent Systems's national animal is the Hawkbat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Sith Order.

Interdependent Systems is ranked 28,584^th in the world and 2^nd in Erchion for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,070.79 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
