The Re-elected Floofy Fox of The Solar System Scope is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Fox King Astro with a fair hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.782 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 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Astrofolk economy, worth a remarkable 1,848 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 171,420 Solar Systems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Astrofolk satellites can detect it, the country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, elections have recently been reintroduced to The Solar System Scope, and life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average. 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.

The Solar System Scope is ranked 5,605^th in the world and 158^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 145 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
