The Space Colony Cluster of Side 10 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, soft-spoken computers, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.117 billion Spacenoids enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ray City. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Side 10ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 173,505 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, glamping Spacenoids won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and trespassers entering Leader's office are immediately vaporized. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Side 10's national animal is the tapir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Side 10 is ranked 79,185^th in the world and 4,011^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 21.29 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
