The Galactic Confederacy of Stellar Colonies is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Confederate Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.522 billion Confederates enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Confederate economy, worth 660 trillion Common Credits a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,536 Common Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Common Credits are spent to take high-quality photos of the Politician Nebula, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stellar Colonies's national animal is the Politician, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stellar Colonies is ranked 115,469^th in the world and 5,062^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 260.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
