The Floofy Foxes of The Solar System Scope is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Astro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.154 billion Astrofolks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astrocity. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Astrofolk economy, worth a remarkable 1,916 trillion Solar Systems a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,836 Solar Systems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (The Solar System Scope has found 7 easter eggs), giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Solar System Scope's national animal is the Planet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kitsuneity.

The Solar System Scope is ranked 161,122^nd in the world and 6,618^th in the South Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -40.27 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
