The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.046 billion Astrofolks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them.

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.
